"I love you"

I got butterflies hearing it

You got drunk and told me in a smokey bar

Earnestly, clumsily, but in the dearest way

You don't remember

You weren't quite ready

It wasn't how you wanted to do it

 

So we pretend you haven't told me yet.

 

I've wanted to tell you in so many smokey bars

On street corners when we're walking

In bed in the early morning

In the shower, suds covered, soaked and laughing

In my kitchen, dancing and spinning me around

On grocery trips and in speeding cars.

 

You haven't told me yet

But I'm bursting to tell you again
