The words –
Would just saying them,
Actually putting them to sound
Change anything?

If you admitted
And I admitted
Would we both smile
And let out a sigh of relief –
In unison even?

Or would you retreat?
Would I?
(more likely me)
Even though I know
I already know

I suppose we are safe
This way –
Words existing but never said
Yes –
I will admit,
Actually putting them to sound
Would change everything.

I know –
Trust me, I know.
But sighs are for lovers
And confessions are for heroes

I am neither.
Are you?
