Always say “I love you”
Before hanging up the phone,
Or she will call you back
And ask why you didn't say it
Seems silly, but it's urgent
You need to know
That she always needs to hear it
Put her at the top of your list
Even if you are not at the top of hers
It's worth it
She's worth it
And always will be,
Tell her she's lovely
On the night she drinks too much
When her iceburg eyes
Melts into a Titanic sized sorrow
Show her love then
Even if she won't remember it
Don't let her fire dim
Or it will burn,
On the nights where your empty cavity
Of a chest misses
What was the best to me,
I hope will be your best, too
She's the most beautiful
Of all blessed messes,
That you don't need to clean-
No, her scars and her travesty
Is beautiful and she will color you
Even if you are pale
And unclean-
Love her today
Tomorrow
And every moment in between
Don't ever let her down,
Or end up like me
Wishing I said
“I love you”
The last time I talked to her on the phone
Because this time she didn't call back
And ask why
I didn't
