ily!
Those poems!
They take so long to say!
Those three little words I want to tell you every day.
But I bite my tongue and just instead give a simple “hello,”
Small talk a bit.
But I was just wondering, if not those words
Then what else could I say?
Is it alright to tell you…
I love you like a fat kid loves cake?
Like a crack head loves crack?
Like a flower loves the sun?
(oh, did I mention, you’re my sunshine?)
Like a 15 year old loves Rockstars
Like a gangster loves hoes?
(hoe face)
The bread the butter?
The waffle the syrup?
The drag queen the fishnets?
The + the -?
Can’t I just say…?
How about all of the above?
To let you know,
Through and through,
That in this letter I write to you
I’ll stick with you
And stand by you
No matter what you do.
I’ll stick with you like paper on glue,
I’ll stick with you like PB n J,
Stick on you like light on a light bulb,
Ugly on a monkey,
Herpes on a whore (I’ll never go away?)
Wings on a bird,
Letters in a word,
Doorknob on a door,
Pockets on jeans,
The ridges on keys!
I’m nothing without you!
I’d be like a zebra without its stripes,
A gay man without tights,
Shoes without laces,
People without faces,
Violins without strings,
A car without wheels,
Candy without the sugar (Splenda doesn’t help neither)
Sunshine without sun?
(I think I already mentioned you ARE my sunshine)
I need you like a fish needs water,
I need you like a smoker needs a smoke,
Like hockey needs ice,
Or soccer needs a ball,
Like an artist needs a pencil,
Popcorn needs butter!
Like Juno said,
You are the cheese to my macaroni,
And like I’ll say,
You are the stars to my night sky,
You are the colour to my rainbow,
The air to my lungs,
The doll to my inner child,
The beat to my heart!
The heart to my blood!
The blood to my veins!
The reason to my smile!
Everytime you come around,
I see your face,
I think of your face,
I think of seeing you,
I get these butterflies.
I can’t help it,
But I want to take a blowtorch and shoot down those damned butterflies!
They make me feel sick!
Hey, maybe a good sickness.
I don’t want the cure just yet.
I guess I’ll just wait…
Wait!
This isn’t me!
I’m impatient!
But for you I’d do anything.
I’ll swim the ocean to see you,
I’ll cross hell and talk to the devil himself to hear your voice,
Push an old lady down the stairs only to maybe be near you!
Cross a desert,
Attempt to fly,
Kill a unicorn,
Damn it!
To only make you smile the possibilities!
They are endless!
(just to see you smile)
I mean
You make me smile!
Even when you’re aren’t here
You make me smile.
And when I’m upset,
I can only feel safe in your arms.
You pull me down when I’m drifting away,
You grab my hand when I go astray.
Lead me the way.
Please.
I’ll do the same for you.
Maybe one day
That person you think about?
Before you go to sleep?
When you dream?
Watch a movie?
Read a book?
Try to listen to your teacher?
That will be me.
When nothing can make you unhappy
Because that one person said
“I love you,”
That will be me!
I promise you!
And if it’s not,
Will it matter by that time?
We don’t know what love is anyways
Do we?
We are so sure of the other emotions.
Why is that?
Hate,
Anger,
Happiness,
Loneliness,
Sleepiness,
Comfort,
And everything else…
Aren’t we?
I don’t know.
I know you don’t know.
I’m not sure of you not sure of me
But give me a moment, baby, you will see
I’ll keep walking this rainbow
Till I get the gold
On the other side
And since this is drawing to a near end
I would like to say to you.
I
Love
You.
