if I've said I love you...
I could take on your offer
and barred my problems to you
share my sufferings and doubts
and self-imposed judgements
till you want to listen no more
You could have been my saviour
the shoulder to cry on
the one to rely on when I'm at lost
or to indulge about my sweet successions
till it starts weighing heavy
We could have been more
No curfew for replies and calls
Of hugs that felt warm and safe
or endearing names said to each other
Things I still could not imagine
Because
if I were to say 'I love you'
would you have said it back?
