30/01 Those

The sun shines through your window curtains
It lights on your face and I smile
As I sit up in this room, watching the fading evening light
I think of all the times we've spoken
All the few times we've met
And the ways tears have been shed
Those momentary hugs and the times when we had only three words for each other
Like father to son
Like mother to daughter
Like friend to dear friend
But this time
Lover to lover
"I
love you."
