i say i love you
i say i love you
the way a whale sprays
its water after
a long dive
this is to say that
loving you in an exhale
after forgetting that
i was holding my breath
you say i love you
like china in a cupboard
soft, delicate, quiet
as if i am something
that might chip if
loved loudly
how do i tell you
that i want to be loved
like a highlighter
bright & see-through
illuminating all the imperfections
that you say you admire about me
