One Step


Their hands are entangled. Their eyes are locked. Three simple words stand between them.

“I love you.”

Three simple words. One step hesitating.

“I love you.”

Why can neither of them say it? Why is it so hard? Three simple words. One chance.

“I love you.”

Yet, neither say it. Their eyes speak; their voices can’t. Silence. But, they think it clearly.

“I love you.”

Finally, to end the torment, someone says it softly. Three little words. One step forward.

“I love you.”

Does it matter who said it?

Their eyes spark. Three simple words. One step... leading into one kiss.
