I love you she thought:

          Covering her shoulders with her favorite
green blanket, on the cold tiles of the worn, bathroom floors.
          Sit down, lean back, close your eyes, and wait.
                    Until she wakes up and goes to bed.

I love you she thought:

          Miles away from the chaotic scene,

That is her life.
Constantly wishing,
          One desire and multiple intentions.

I love you she thought:

          Nights spent inebriated and off balance
               Afternoons, in a haze.
Cycles are what she falls back to.
     Yet nothing she will do to not stay,
            And maybe, she cannot stay.

I love you she thought:

          Pulling the pink covers around her,
watching her sleep.
          A peaceful resignation from the night.

I love you she thought:

          I am passionate for you
               I adore you
                      I really, really like you.

I love you, she thought to herself.
