how to say “i love you”

you’ll have to catch the eye

of their soul and take the hand

of their heart: find something they

can’t live without and make them

realize, it wouldn’t be hard at all.

then lean in close and whisper

your promise of eternity;

don’t forget to mention that you leaving

isn’t a possibility.

lastly, take them somewhere special

a place that means everything

to the both of you, and

connect the stars hidden behind their eyes

and tell them all your truths.
