It is still so
Funny to me
You know I how
I feel
I know how
You feel

And yet these words

They catch in my throat
Less now than before
But still

One of the things
We have in common

Words have power
We know the power of words

Though I may speak them more
I know you are filled with many


I seek outlets
Afraid to scare you
Though I know you are fierce
Fighter and lover

You are not afraid of me

Old fears die hard but
Maybe it will be so simple
Uttering those words someday
