what i don't say

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

  1. This is so beautiful! I love how much meaning can be behind saying “I love you”! There are a thousand things behind that one saying, that one word! I love how you wrote this!
