i love you
and i trust you
with all my heart
but when i saw you
outside waiting for me
(stomping that little stomp thing
you do when i'm a bit late)
the message i had been rehearsing
for almost an hour
slid down my throat
and hid behind
my internal organs
making my heart feel
just that much fuller
at the sight of you
winded again
speechless again
hopeless again
all i could do
is listen to your
news of the day
following your
babbling word cloud
with my
less than awkward silence
i'm less that awkward
with you
(maybe i should have said that)
