maybe we should

my youngest girl
sitting on his lap
facing him, giggling and
laughing as happy as can be.
dad laughing back
tickling her, as happy as her.
she looks at him and says
grandpa i love you
he's stunned and shocked
doesn't know how to react
she doesn't pause, she just giggles
and says, that's alright grandpa
i know you love me too
you just don't say it.
Dad and i are the same
to each other
we love each other dearly
we just don't say it
but maybe now
it's time that we do
