I hope I never see you again
I tell myself before I finally approach you with words
Words I've been longing to say ever since they formed
that came into being from feelings that I thought were fleeting
"I love you"
A jumbled mess comes out and I hope you heard it that one time because as much as I want to say it again, I don't think I can
I think I have premature ventricular contractions
I don't want to look up
I know this is ridiculous
I've done it before
Telling him how I feel right when he is about to move forward
You stand there
I don't know how long I can wait
and then
I hear you say
