But You Meant It

You rambled.

Your raw voice cracked,
it trembled,
it paused.

You were imprecise,
emotional,
awkward.

And rightfully so.

Too honest?
Too messy?
Too vague?
Too weak?
Too loud?

Sometimes too much.
Often not enough.

But you meant it.

Back then, 
when your words were real,
someone still stayed 
for the feel.
