What I say:
I love you
What I don't say:
I love your beating heart
I love that you are here,
Steady, beneath me
That your heartbeat is
A lullaby that sings me to sleep
I love that you are warm,
Solid, that it is so
Easy, an afterthought,
To have you here so safe
Beneath me
I love that you are still here,
Still mostly completely good,
And yourself and more yourself everyday
I love your beating heart
I am still trying to learn
How to say it out loud
