If I could write
truly write
put pen to paper and spill my soul
into a milky galaxy of love
I would spend every word on you
If I could write love songs like
Noah Kahan
or beabadoobee
I wouldn’t waste a second
To tell you how I really feel
I would spend hours shaping syllables like windows in to my mind
just so you could see yourself
through my eyes
If I could write poetry strong enough
to make your chest ache
I would pour every ounce of my love into it
because the words I love you
have always felt too small
for something so enormous
If I could sing in a way
that made your stomach drop
and your heart rise like the moon
I would let you hear
the music hidden in your laugh
the softness in your voice
the way your breathing falls and rises
like an ocean brushing against
a cold gray pebble beach
But I can’t write
And I can’t sing
So let me tell you this
in the simplest way I know how
I.
Love.
You.
