Words

These are simple words
Empty words
Filling blank spaces
Unspoken moments
We have together.

These are hated words
Unwanted words
Replacing what we want to hear
Leaving questions unanswered
Just as the two of us know.

These are false words
Lying words
Taking place of the truth
Where honesty hurts
Like losing someone.

These are the words
Beautiful words
That we've longed for
The ones between the lines
That say "I understand."
