When I had written "I love you",
On that little margin of your homework,
Barely visible.
I wished to say,
That your smile brings a kind of warmth,
Filled with pure kindness and empathy,
And that melodious laughter,
When we sat together looking at memes,
It brought even more joy.
I relish the moments,
When we accidentally touch hands,
A spark of connection,
Ephemeral.
When you listen to what I am excited about,
Even though you might not understand,
I stumble over words,
And cannot collect my thoughts,
For there is a pleasant overwhelm of emotion.
So I scribbled in pen,
Right on the margin of your homework,
"I love you"
