A phrase
could be spoken
a hundred times a month,
a thousand over a year,
countless words in strung out decades,
yet one time,
just once,
would it have more meaning than multiple
utterance.
for that is it isn’t it,
an expression,
beyond is either a wonder,
not reflection of why anyway,
anymore
any time we hear it,
might our shackles go up in an instance,
for it is
just three words,
to allow a moment.
Please don’t ever forget
in recent years I began omitting
that closure
so anticipated and expected
whether believed or even yearned,
except when in the eyes
of one,
of her, of you.
Have confidence when the words were expressed,
always one
those rare moments when we did
find one another’s soul
waiting in windows …
you.
