Different Versions

Across the table, the words lingered long,

'I love you' fell heavy, a bittersweet song.

Each syllable shifting like shadows at dusk,

drenched in the weight of the silence, the husk.

A text sent in haste, but the meaning can bend,

as seasons can change, and our hearts can pretend.

Each 'I love you' crafted from moments we share,

a reflection of truth wrapped in delicate care.
