I Love You


Sometimes, I just can't talk

My throat becomes swollen 

And my eyes teary. 

I try.

I open my mouth,

but no noise comes out.

I want so bad to tell you.

Everything.

Every thought that crosses my mind. 

 

So I write. 

I write every

Thought

Feeling.

Every word that describes us. 

 

All of a sudden,

It doesn't feel as scary.

It doesn't feel so strange. 

It just feels right.

 

So here I am voice trembling,

With steady hands

To write:

I love you.
