Heartstrings
Remember when we said,
"I love you."
and meant it?
I think I need

Take a deep breath,
tug at the heartstrings,
and let the words roll off your tongue,
"I love you."
and I will reply with all sincerity,
"I love you, too."

Sweet
Kate could
notice
that I
needed
a treat
so
she drove
off
and bought
me
a cinnamon
roll;
it tasted
sweet.
You're my first
kiss,
and no matter
how
far we drift
apart
Antony, you'll always
have
the first pair
of
lips I ever
tasted.
I may sound harsh
but
I don't say anything
about
other people that I
wouldn't
speak directly to their
faces;

I'm not behind anyone's
back.
