for some saying i'm sorry or saying i love you, or saying i was wrong...just as difficult...

why are the words so hard to make emerge?
the feelings are often there...but we don't say it...and then the other is gone.

i "rather" hope it would be said.

Nice idea here. We often find it difficult to say what we really feel. That's relatable to me. Loved reading it :)

I loved the call-and-response that went on in this piece. Lovely!

Nice flow of thoughts in the poetry. Better to seek love than escape. I liked the ending a lot. Being in love is the best days of our life. Thank you Alias for sharing the excellent poetry.

I guess that's how it is sometimes. It can be hard to say those 3 little words because when we do we put it all out there on the line and risk being hurt or not getting a return. Makes us vulnerable & that's uncomfortable but someone has to take that first step i guess. Nice job.

Some things are very much hard to admit or say.

Really cute piece here Alias. Made my morning :)

I liked the way the lines were short and had a fast flow - it created a great beat for the poem. Glad I read :)
