I told you I still love you,
statement of fact
oh so casually
in the same way one would say
the sky is blue today.
We let the sentence pass,
unremarkable.
I told you I love you
with no demands
no question mark to follow
no exclamation point.
There is no surprise here.
I told you I love you
and neither of us questioned it
neither of us appeared
terrified.
There is some satisfaction
in seeing how well you know me now.
I ask nothing
of you.
The sky is blue today.

If you haven't a clue what email is, I'm afraid my carrier pigeon is on a temporary hiatus, the stork's off delivering babies.... and I'm too lazy to walk to your house and pop handwritten tidbits into your letterbox :-( Sowwy! Hopefully the above links will suffice.

WOW… I have been there… I confessed to someone who did not understand that I meant it.
Ah, but that’s where the joy is, this someone did know
this person is very lucky then.. to have embedded themselves so lovlingly into your psyche and soul.. wonderfully written
Oh that was really, really good.
I like this..It’s nice to love and be loved and no one expect no more but ur love…finally understand that feeling,like knowing the sky is still blue…Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Kim
While I can’t say the feeling was mutual, I at least had the knowledge that he knew he was loved. That was a nice feeling.
I’m glad you’re in a place where you feel loved unconditionally – that must be a true joy indeed!
Wow. That poem is soft snow and the sound of a cat’s drowsy purr.
That kind of acceptance…it is incredible. I had never had a confession of love get so calm a response until recently, and while there is something to be said for a romance that is a whirlwind of passion and opalescent flash…tranquility is also a blessing. Especially when it comes with such depth of understanding.
I’m glad you reminded me of that. That memory and a brush of fingers over topaz reminds me to breathe. That and shared experience reminds me I am not alone.
