i love you
you´re using this every time
with a comma in front of your name
to write me a caring goodbye.
back when it was fresh it worked fine
to tickle emotions.
the line then became a reminder
of how i should end my reply.
but i fail to produce it so freely,
nursing this brittle bad conscience
for fickle emotions.
my frugal conserving of ink
took toll of your trust in these words.
this day you have added (in brackets)
how clichéd repeated love sounds,
a pickled emotion.
and then, unexpecting, i found
i still like it (i love you).
