Too
She said ‘I love you’ into the phone.
But it wasn’t the perfunctory close to a call
Or to illicit an echoed response
I love you;
She emphasized the love and instead of allowing the you to trail off indiscriminately,
she held it up as if to say, it’s you that I love, and no other.
I love you;
Though she didn’t emphasize the I, she didn’t need to, would never have to
so long as the love was so authentic. So much so that she even surprised herself
owing more to a tidal wave than a creeping up on
I love you
nearly swept her away as she was walking up the stairs from the cafe
back into the quad, sun shinning, and breeze gentle
I love you wasn’t the end of the call, it was but the beginning
