I Spoke Too Soon

I love you,
I said
while holding your hands in mine
when really, you were the one
holding onto me.
It wasn't my intention to blurt out that statement.
I meant to reserve it for a better time.
But what would have been better than
us standing in the rain while
you attempt to forgive and forget
and
I attempt to make up for all
my mistakes
and most of my flaws?
