I wish I could write
something brilliant.
The pick-up line
to end all.

A perfect one-liner
utterly unique and so
refreshing, it sinks
into your
skull.

I wish I could say
something beautiful
to make you fall
in lust.

A euphemism or
anecdote to light the fire
that will burn
history.

I can write us out
of the ashes,
x's and o's
in cursive.

I can write around
your reluctance
to let anything good
happen.

I will write you into
a love letter, fold it like
a paper airplane
and throw it.

If you ever read it,
scribbled in the folds it says,
"I love you." Only one
of the many
phrases
that I did
not use
enough.
