You will know I love you
You will know I love you when my eyes can’t stand to glance away from your face
You will know I love you when I laugh even at the smallest quip to cross your lips
You will know I love you when I make excuses just to be near you
When my hands wander aimlessly, incapable of being still
When I smile though there’s no reason to smile.
When I text you
At night
In the morning
During work
After work
Even before you have had chance to reply
You will know I love you because I will tell you
My heart cannot keep secrets
He does not know how to whisper
I wear my heart on my sleeve
And in my eyes
And in my hands
And on my lips
You will know I love you when I share him with you
When I share my pain
My hurt
My fear
You will know I love you when you see me cry
I may not know love yet
I may never know what it means to love
Or how to really feel love
But I do know
That you will know I love you

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
