and for a moment
Location
and for a moment you
pause
slow, steady, listen
the room would be so quiet
if there wasn’t so much blood
rushing
in my ears.
I look at you
and my soul is in my eyes
you look at me
like you’re hoping I’ll
say it,
finally, aloud.
let me kiss it to you instead.
darling, how
do I love you?
I wish
I could count the ways
- I tell you I love you every time we have sex
