“I love you,” he says
I know he really means it
What do I do now?
Often unspoken
Things stir a panic inside
This time it’s what’s said
Intense confusion
When did this unexpected
Love make its debut?
What does this love mean?
Emotional baggage clouds
My heart and his words
I accept them both --
His words and the sentiment --
With difficulty
Why so troubled by
An emotion I never
Wished to inspire?
I think because it’s
Spoken, sans expectation,
That’s scaring me most
How do I respond?
How do I reciprocate?
To this newfound love?
