I Tried
It's things that I would never say to you, because my ego's not going away
It's things that I would do to you, but still I can't say
The words that leave my lips are simple to say, but coming from me to you I just can't do it that way
It's been a whiile since we spoke & it's killing me to say these simple words that to you may have died & withered away
But, still, relentlessly I shower you with my appreciation still the simplest thing I can not say
Yes, my insecurity has bested me & my male ego wont let me say the 3 words to this day
I...........M...........Y
not the words you thought, but still I try
Taking a chunk out of my pride to address you 1st
I miss you, I say, as my heart falls heavily for the floor
Waiting to hear these words pour from your voice........Heartbeats racing & tears galore from your eyes, but somehow to your surprise your heart sings to me "I Tried"
