I love you,
Those words still seem hard to say.
They linger on the tip of my tongue,
But fail to exit the confines of my mouth,
Bars of enamel containing my love.
Thoughts of you used to settle in the dark,
Dusted off to be ready for the next night,
But now your thoughts are in constant use,
Running throughout my head in daylight.
These days I find myself trying my best,
But my words fail to make sense,
And your handshakes stain my palms,
Sweaty and damp in your presence.
When I first met you,
I hated you as a false pretense,
But now I find it harder to lie,
When one day I stopped thinking "Would you like this?"
And started thinking "Would you like me?"
