Call Me Beautiful One More Time

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

I said I was done;
I told you off
and let you go.


But sorrow overtook me,
and I caved to your voice.


There in the silence,
I responded
although I knew better.


You will keep
stepping on my toes
until I tell you otherwise.


You will control me
because you know
I crave your compliments.


I read in
that word bubble-
"beautiful as always".


And I was yours
all over again.
