i wanted to write you something today
with vivid imagery
and flowery words
with an explenation
of my emotion
and how my heart sings
when it hears your name

but i didnt want to be repetitive
i didnt want to be trite
i didnt want to sound like
all the love songs
that remind me
of how i feel

i wanted to write you something today
something colorful
in cursive
with big rounded letters
something girly
to express how you make me feel
when you say my name

but i didnt want to seem weak
i didnt want to be annoying
i didnt want to be like
the other poets
who use the same words
to express thier feelings

i wanted to write you something today
on plain paper
with simple words
in pencil
with erasure marks
to cover where i misspelled things
because sometimes i do that

but i didnt want to use to many words
i didnt want to repeat myself
i didnt want you to think
i thought about it to much
so i decided to be simple
and say it like this...

....i love you
