When we had our late night drunken conversation
I talked of how the last one should've treated you better
How your worth is something heaven sent
You told me stories of the islands
The ocean and how it makes you feel at home again
I watched your mouth form love poems to the room
I responded with all the things I loved too
All the poems that brought me to my knees
All the seasons and how each of them hold us
I forgot to say how I love you
And how I woke with those words still
trapped behind my lips
