blood and brains and angel cake

love poem #2

i wrote this to say i no longer think. i only daydream. you are every one of them. asleep or awake, you are the most comfortable thing i have ever touched.

i wrote this to say all the colors look different, by which i mean they all look sunnier, by which i mean you are the color of my sun.

i wrote this because i'm running out of ways to describe you. i can never seem to find the words to say: nothing i have ever known has been this sweet. i have never felt a love so light. i have never seen a boy so pretty. i am still learning how to look at you without melting. in short - i have never felt this warm before.

i wrote this to say i have never been this bad with words. when i'm with you they stick to the back of my throat because they all sound a lot like i love you which feels a lot like giving up.

i wrote this to say i am scared of loving you.

i wrote this to say i love you anyway.
