HEY!
I love you
I want to shout it to the world

The world could handle it
The world would think me! "Another love struck…"
Am I a girl? Or would I be a woman?
Anyways
The world could handle it
It would read my poems
In all it's circular logic it would tell me
You are so young! 22, a girl/woman, you are
And I wouldn't be able to say anything
I could only reiterate.
I love you.
And you, you would be silent.
You wouldn't be able to handle it.
You would tell me I'm moving too fast.
The world is the only one to keep up.
Spinning across the galaxy, thousands of miles
An hour and you would just say
Maybe nothing but definitely it would
Be too soon you would say and I
Think the only one to keep up
Would be the world.
You are beautiful.
I love you.
But you would say
Shhhhh
Like you are a secret
And I am shouting you
And you don't want
The world to hear.
I will hold you to my chest
Keep you underneath my clothes
Carry you around all day.
If you want I could keep you secret.
The world doesn't have to know.
Only I,
With you tucked underneath my skin.
