Twenty times a day, she tells him she loves him. Tries to make up for all the days she wouldn’t say it. Couldn’t say it. Didn’t know.

Twenty times a day, he smiles and strokes her hair. Kisses her lips. Pulls her close.

Twenty times a day, she waits for him to say it back. Revels in it. Lives to hear it.

Twenty times a day, she wishes he believed her. Tries to prove it. Make him see.

Twenty times a day, she dies inside. Holds him tighter. Loves him harder.

Terrified some scars can’t heal.

Twenty times a day.

I'm so pleased you liked it, and thank you for the lovely words.

Also, please forgive the delay in responding. Tis the season for not enough hours in the day. ;-)

Btw, I've barely made a dent in all the reading at seasonal_spuffy so far, but I've heard wonderful things about "Whispers in a Dead Man's Ear." Do you by any chance remember what date you posted? I'd like very much to add it to my must-read bookmarks.

Hee! A big ditto on that one... I just got back to a computer after a few days away, so please don't worry about a delay at all! Hope the season was happy! :)

I'm so glad that you're hearing good things about "Whispers"! I posted on December 2, with the final part of it posted in my journal on December 4 (there's a link to it in the seasonal_spuffy posts). I hope you enjoy when you get a chance to read, and thanks so much!
