things with you

never make sense.

you weren't supposed to be

everything that you are.

you were supposed

to be temporary.

you were meant

to fill a hole

another left.

you weren't supposed to

become everything to me.

but

one day,

you were laying next to me

with the biggest smile on your face,

laughing about something stupid

that i said.

and i had a fleeting thought

"i love you."

now,

in the spaces between our spoken words,

my eyes will say the thing that my lips cannot.

"i love you."

"i love you."

"i love you."

please don't judge me

for the instilled fear i have

about giving you my heart.

because

whether i wanted to give it to you

or not,

it is already yours.
