Untitled #206 (2018)

I’m in love now,
with all the passion I used to dream of,
so don’t get me wrong,
I’m not unhappy:

       but the thing about
       not having to say I love you
       like you’re screamin’ into a storm
       is not having to get creative about saying it
       in the hopes that maybe this time,
       unlike all the other times,
       someone would hear it,

and say “I love you” too.

and to be honest,
if I had ever run into someone who could say it as many ways as I used to,
I would have stayed silent,
hoping they would never stop.
