I find myself wanting to say
‘I’d do anything for you’
but I wouldn’t

I want to tell you, sometimes, that I love you
but I don’t know if I do

Yet these are words I’ve said before
to others
when they weren't true

I don’t think I know what love is,
but one thing I’ve learned:
the words I thought I needed
can't compare
with the feeling of your hand resting lightly on the back of my head, my cheek against your shoulder
