To Love Someone

It can be a struggle

To communicate.

To let the words stuck

in your throat

take a life of their own.

"You hurt me"

"I'm sorry"

"Can we try something new?"

I love you

It can be difficult

To compromise.

To give up

the fight in your soul

and apologize

"You were right"

"I'm sorry"

"We don't have to fight any more"

I love you

It can be painful

To cooperate.

To set yourself aside,

consider the feelings

you have and have inflicted

"I went over the line"

"I'm sorry"

"Let's work together on this"

I love you
