I try to pretend that you don’t exist
Acknowledgement is not bliss
My heart breaks with every mention of you
On social media pictures come into view
Yet I know in my heart that I am blessed
To have known you
To have been with you
To have felt your warm caress
So many words between us said
Yet the important word never confessed
It is perhaps too late to recover
To get back what we once felt for each other
But I will say the word we were afraid to utter
“I love you.”
