The language of Birthday Cake
In English, we say don’t hesitate,
in poetry
We say I refuse to believe the words I love you are like birthday cake
three words reserved for special occasions only, to be given out topped with candles and frosting at the perfect moment .
I use the words I love you casually and recklessly at times, but I found that birthday cake is better at midnight, and I love you ? It’s better when you don’t hesitate, and you don’t wait for a special occasion to say it, so here it is I love You,
and not in a special occasion kind of way in the coffee in the morning on a Tuesday kind of way I love you in chalk on the sidewalk, in little Post-it notes and smiles when you come home.
I love you in the language of everyday things and seeing you at the end of each day and listening to every word you say I love you in the language of birthday cake, when it’s nobody’s birthday.
By Poetic Whispers
It was too good not to share
Peace and so much love
