My heart
has made up its mind

I’ve written about you
so many times already
And my fingers
urge me to keep going

My mind is driving me nuts
overwhelmed by how much space
you occupy in it


I keep everything huddled up inside
far far away
from my mouth


Maybe when I’m ready
I’ll be able to tell you
what the heart wants you to hear


I’ve glimpsed sides of you
no one has ever seen
I’ve seen you evolve
into this beautiful creature
that no other girl witnessed
