CHELSEA MANN

“I love you,” I have not said yet today; In fact, it’s likely been too long a while. “Good morning; tastes delicious,” I will say, And “please, drive safe,” with a wave and a smile. But words like “love” aren’t shared between us two, Despite the way you make me laugh and grin. Instead, I’ll gift some flowers that I grew And when we play a game, I’ll let you win. Although I may not speak the words outright, I love you every second, day and night.
