poem 1 comment challenge: Unsaid

"I love you"

"I love you."
Three little words that were said too late.
I waited too long.
I thought you would be around forever.
You left thinking I hated you.
I loved you more than life.
I love you more than my life.
What is "my" life without you anyway?
You were all I had.
You are all I want.
You are all I need.

    Wow. Really powerful poem I'm impressed. Maybe if you included some details about the moment where they left and you realized it was too late. Did they yell? Did you cry? Loved it!
