You know I love you, right?
The way I smile whenever you look at me
The way you can make me laugh
Even when I don’t feel like it
Especially when I don’t feel like it
The way you understand things about me
Most people don’t
You know I love you, right?
The way I shiver when you
Touch me
And my hands shake sometimes
When I reach out to touch back
How you always ask
If I’m ok
Even when I’m not
Especially when I’m not
And want to try to make it better
You know I love you, right?
Even though I can’t speak the words
Won’t admit it out loud
Not even to myself
Knowing there’s no way you’ll say them back
I’ll see that look on your face
The one that says
Good-bye
Again
And everything ends
So I stay quiet.
But
You know I love you
Right?
