Four Sacred Words Poem by Ash Desrocher

I miss the lower school,
where you and I could just stay friends,
with no repercussions,
cause you and I were just kids then,
who didn't know how to act.

Now we're teenagers,
going into high school,
we have different tastes in music,
friends,
art,
but we both like one another,
but god stands between us,
pushing us apart,
religion is the most important thing to you,
I never quite understood,
how a god could mean so much to you.

I never understood why when I said 'I love you'...
you couldn't respond back with four simple words,
that I wished to hear,
I wished you could use the intelligence that you were born with,
that I admired,
to see,
that all I really needed most,
was to hear,
or simply feel,
those four sacred words.
