the fading of the phrase

they come with ease. falling easily off lips frequently. routinely.

their initial utterance causes a stir, because it means something
something bigger than you planned. 
something indicative of future, of adoration, of an interdependence. 

it's when those words stop that another stir is evoked. 
a stir sinister. or a stir of simplistic acceptance. 

the fading of those three words out of your diction might have been expected. 
but if i can still say the phrase to you, with my bleeding heart open wide, why won't you return the sentiment?
