Don't tell her
you love her
until you're
absolutely,
exceedingly,
profoundly,
certain
you'll love her forever.

Cause she'll take those words
and soak them into her skin,
absorbing them,
and soon enough
you'll make her heart melt
and it will fall
into your hands.

But she'll say them back
and mean them completely.
She'll hope
and pray
that you mean it
as much as she does,
because she's already falling,
trusting you to catch her.
