You send me two messages—
“Hey love, how are you?”

I send you five, six, seven in reply.
You laugh,
but deep down,
you complain—
you think I talk too much.

The truth is,
I’m intense with my feelings.
When I express them,
I can’t hold back.

I write in ALL CAPS,
send a flood of emojis—
all so you’ll know
how much
your two little messages
made me happy today.
