I Loved You Then, I Love You Now And I Will Love You Always
You're a sentence with no punctuation, a kaleidoscope full of colours i don't remember learning in elementary school.
Your voice is a sound I've been looking for my entire life.
Your smile is the only thing worth setting my alarm clock early enough to see.
If I could I would shape shift into the first thing you think about in the morning just so I can be reminded of what it's like to wake up next to you.
I love you in a language I don't fully understand. In words that I haven't found enough courage to forklift out of my chest, I hear that karma is vengeful and also a light sleeper so I've chosen to love you like this. Quietly. So I'll call your phone, and hang up before it actually rings. I'll write you letters that you will never read. And when I see you in public, I'll stick my hand inside of a bag full of things I haven't done since you left me, and pull out a smile. I'll say something like hello, it's nice to see you. And I'll keep walking.
