when i say.

when i say, "please don't tell",
i really don't want you to tell.

when i say, "i love you",
i really do, in that moment, love you.

when i say, "i'm sorry",
i really am truly, deeply sorry.

when i say, "i'm here for you,"
i really am here for you.

when i say absolutely nothing,
i really am just waiting for you to say something first.

when i say anything,
i really do mean it.

otherwise,
why would i say it?
