#unconfessed
Your eyes
were the first thing I noticed
I don’t even know why
just… there was something there
like the sun but not too much
just enough
to make me stare a little longer
and then your smile
it’s stupid how it does that
how it makes everything feel okay
like the world can be a mess
and somehow
it doesn’t matter for a bit
because you’re there
I think about saying this to you sometimes
but I already know I won’t
not because you don’t deserve to hear it
you do
you really do
I just—
I’d rather have you like this
than not have you at all
so I write it here instead
and leave it here
all the small things
that probably don’t mean anything to anyone else
your favorite flower
your favorite song
the way you talk about things you want someday
I remember all of it
for no reason
or maybe there is one
I just don’t say it
and maybe that’s okay
to feel something real
and keep it quiet
even if
you never know
it was always you
