If you tuck the name of a loved one under your tongue too long without speaking it it becomes blood sigh the little sucked-in breath of air hiding everywhere beneath your words.- - - -Love is such a powerful emotion that one can not keep it secret for too long.If it is suppressed, it consumes you more.An amazing poem ! !
