Something Funny

I have always found it difficult
to express myself in words
I  become tongue-tied...
One of the hardest things
is for me to  say "I love you"
I can express it
in so many  other ways
a rose for your desk,
a glass of tea to cool your thirst,
rub your back when it's sore,
to worry about you....
I can say "I love you"
with my eyes,
my touch,
kisses,
and giving myself to you
and in my writing
God knows I've sent
enough "I love yous"
on paper
and just when I learned to speak it
with confidence
you parted from me
was it my voice, or
did I say something funny?
