That L Word

First a on a note,
You slipped in my coat.
Then in a call,
This time I might fall.
Finally in person face to face.
Dispite who else was in the place.

Your turn,
You said.
I said it now you.
I can't in front of my dad,
He'll get mad.
I said back.

Again you tried by saying it infront of your mother.
You said you loved me like no other.
I still couldn't find a voice.
Once more you said it this time in front of friends.
Now I understand this isn't pertend.

You asked me why I wouldn't say it,
Why I couldn't admit.
But before you could finish, my voice came through.
As I manage to say I love you.
