You're next to me with you
I am fine to
Then it happens, by accident really, quick, without thought, clearly
The words spill from my mouth and onto the floor
The echoes linger in the air
And soon after, I realize what I had just said,
What I had just done
I instantly lunge towards the wooden floor
Try to pick up the alphabetical pieces of this 3 worded phrase
But it is too late I was not fast enough
The "I love you" had already soaked into the wood
Its scarlet red letters staring up at me
While I am on my hands and knees
I pick myself up and the air is thick
With my profession of love
The echoes of my erratic I love you
Swarm around me
Whisper to me what I fear most the possibility of
Unrequited feelings
Before I start to panic
I will say that phrase once more
This time with some purpose behind it
The purpose is for you to decipher
"I love you"
This time the words plaster on your walls
Echo louder, swarm around both of us
Whisper to you my truth
Continue to whisper to me my fear
You stare at me with a semi-surprised look on your face
Your blue-grey eyes, that I love so much, have a bright glint in them
I think you suspected that I had feelings for you
But you were not sure
I start to panic because you have not responded yet
I am quite panicky, I think too much and in too much depth,
Have you wondered why I am a poet
Well now you know
As I am panicking, letting my thoughts get to me
You instantly calm my nerves
Banish my thoughts and fear
You tell me...
I love you too
Your words spill on the floor next to mine
Plaster on the walls right below mine
Linger in the air with my echoes of professed love
They all come together
Combine to make a short, sweet poem
That fits us perfectly:
"One you
One us
One Love"
