I LOVE YOU ALTHOUGH IT HURTS ME

I love you.
Didn't I ever tell you?
I love you.
Why didn't I ever tell you?
Because there are missing words on this page.
There are words that you don't see.
There are words that you still can't see.
"I love you" aren't the only words I've hidden.
I've hidden other words from you.
Words I'd never want you to see or hear
coming from my mouth,
Not because they'd hurt you,
but because they'd hurt me.

Written 4/17/03 on Katie. The irony is that the words that would hurt me are telling her that the loving her hurts me. But it only hurts me because it hurts her. So really the last two lines are sortof lies...
