Starlight Confession

ByKelli J Gavin October 9, 2026October 10, 2026

Starlight Confession is a poem written by Kelli J. Gavin and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme Distance We Make

I loved you
I always have
I always will
More than I care
To admit to you
I loved you when
You didn’t love me
When you couldn’t love me
When you shouldn’t love me
But I loved you
From the beginning
Until now
Probably forevermore
Whether I like it or not
My love was given
My love was offered
Yours for the taking
Always accepted
I love you
I always have
I always will
My starlight confession

I will always love you
