And still
Saying your name
Out loud
Takes out of me
More than I expect it to
My chest feels heavy
My lungs empty
My head spins
My legs turn to jelly
And I look around
To make sure
No one else will hear me
As if admitting to what once was
Is a crime
And so I lower my voice
Take a deep breath
And say it
I say your name
