Words

It's only words.  What matters is how I feel, not how I say it.

I told her that I loved her, and that was all I said.  What other words could I say?  For her it wasn't enough.  I think I was wrong.

Words can't heal a lifetime of pain, no matter how eloquent.  To realize the words that were never said, the feelings that were never expressed, that can't be expressed in words either.

Words can't take back a lifetime of wrongs.  All I wanted to hear was "I forgive you."  Did I even care if it was genuine?

I wanted her to be happy and miserable at the same time.  "I wish the best for you," said with a smile. "I wish the best for you," spoken with a sneer.  The words alone are not enough.

What a power it would be if words could make things true.  Maybe if I say things often enough, I'll start to believe them.  Is that close enough to making them true?  "I love you."

For those who cannot see, words can paint a picture of beauty they could only imagine.  For those who chose not to see, words are a wasting wind amounting to nothing.

I said I didn't love her anymore.  The truth was, I loved her enough to see I was no good for her.  Sometimes words can lie and speak truth from the heart at the same time.

Feelings exchanged through words form the most powerful words of all.  I can't always know how you feel unless you tell me, and I can't understand how you feel unless you use the right words.  Words can matter.
