Why does having food in my stomach
Feel like I failed
I love you.
Yes, that's what I want to say?
But my shyness gets in the way.

You are so sweet.
Yes, that's what I want to say?
But much too shy to speak.

So, I guess you will never know why my eyes glow.
Whenever, whenever you in view.
Yes, this man truly loves you.

You radiate a light brighter than sun just by smiling.
Oh, you are not even aware it's so inviting.
But these are words stuck within my mind.

Just know these are words I like to say.
But you will hear them one of these days.
Cause I love you, love, truly love you.
Yes, that's what I want to say.

And I will one of these days.
I learned to love
long after angels forgot how.
Long after the timing made sense.
Long after most people would admit it,
maybe out of shame.

But I learned to love.
i wish it was enough.
why can’t it be enough?

i don’t write about you
as often as i used to.
i feel sorry about that.
you still make everything
feel like a love story.
even when my hands shake,
even when the days are heavy,
you hold me like the ending
could still be happy.

i love you in quieter ways now,
in glances, in waiting,
in letting myself stay.
and that matters more
than any poem ever could.
but still, i’ll try to write you one
anyway.
i love you baby

today i disappointed everyone i love.
i was quiet when i should’ve smiled,
tired when i should’ve tried,
somewhere else when i was supposed to be here.

i had fun today.
i smiled and meant it.
i laughed and it sung.
but now the day is over
it’s dark once more,
and i hate myself again.

i don’t want to be
alone
i don’t know what i’ll
do

You only love me when I let you pull apart my peices
