I Love You.

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.
