Sometimes in my mind
(quietly
(as if I am too shy
(well, I am
(because it is
as it is)
and I admit it)
and I am afraid)
and secretly)
I say to you
”You know”
(even when I’m aware
(I know you this well
(do you still remember those times
(oh, If I could ever again
share them with you!)
and those places?)
and you know me)
you already know),
”I love you.”
