Sometimes people don't know how to say I love you,
sometimes people don't know just how to express it.

It can seem like the only way to understand this is to not try to understand it, but in letting it be - find peace.

Sometimes people can be quiet and not very present,
sometimes they just don't know how much you need them.

Sometimes you want them to say "I love you",
chances are they've been waiting a long time to hear you say the same.

Sometimes people cannot be affectionate for the best of them,
all they can do is smile - and sometimes not even that.

One time, two times, several times there will be an opportunity to say the right thing at the right time or be at the right place at the right time. Sometimes opportunity is missed at best.

Sometimes people are hurting, and they don't know how to reach inside the hurt of others.
Sometimes people are bitter, and they don't know that they can be set free by that which they ignore.

Sometimes people genuinely do not know.
