You asked if I loved you

I stand there speechless at what you said

And you just left the room,

Without uttering another word

I walked to the closed door where you stood day after day

And each day I could have told you what I’ve always felt

but I lost my chance

I placed both hands against the door

And imagine that it was your hands that I was feeling

And that spark was still there

I simply whisper

“Of course I love you”

As a perfect tear rolls down my cheek

And splatters across the floor

Just as my heart did when you walked out that door

Into a place where you and me don’t exist.
