Chapter 122 - POEM 122 : If I Say It… It Will Be Real

There's a reason

I haven't said everything yet.

Not because

I don't feel it—

but because

I do.

Too deeply

to treat it lightly.

Because once I say it—

once I look at you

and let the truth

leave my lips—

this won't be

just a feeling anymore.

It will be real.

And real things

don't disappear easily.

They stay.

They grow.

They demand honesty.

And I don't want to say it

unless I'm ready

to stand by it.

Fully.

Completely.

Without doubt.

Because you deserve that.

You deserve words

that don't change

with time.

You deserve love

that doesn't weaken

when things get difficult.

And that's what

I'm preparing myself for.

Not just to feel—

but to commit.

So when I finally say it—

when I stop holding back

and let you hear

everything I've been carrying—

I don't want it

to sound beautiful.

I want it

to be true.

And truth…

takes time.
