Quickly, close your eyes
because the view is terrible
and I don't want to risk your knowledge.
Hurry and shut your mind
because everything I say is innacurrate
and I can't help but make you happy.
Be quick now and look at me,
I'm here in this moment, front and center,
and act as though we've lived through it all.
But hurry now and listen to me
as I display my heart into words,
mouth them along with me now
because we both know we find comfort in voices.
I never thought I would be able to comprehend poetry
as I do now,
now that I understand emotion,
And as I understand, I find I am far less naive,
and I love you.
