You lie there, between the white and blue pin stripes of my notebook
Speechless
Word less rather,
Because there are no letters that can create words
And eventually sentences
That could capture the immense sensation
You give my mind
The tingle in my abdomen
Like I was in grade school and
I swallowed a butterfly whole
And never left a fraction
So her wings fluttering caused this beautiful queasy reaction
Like a strike to the larynx
I couldn't muster up the words to say
I love you
Before she did
A crush
But I'm crushed
For certain she was not more certain than I
She was merely boisterous
And I
Was shy
Moisture that enveloped my eye
And took its course down my cheek
Hoping these bouts of failure
Would only last for a week
How could I steal you
Like bacon basketball
And show you that my heart was superior
While you hold her hand
And will never hear my tears hit the pavement with
20/20 vision
Head on collision
Had she won your heart honest?
Or beat me to the punch
But I feel as though I have loved you since free lunch
If she's your happy
Then she has won for now
Internally I feel no two people will love for eternity
So I'll fade into the shadows
When that curve ball is served to your beloved
And they yell strike three
I'll show you my epiphany
The return of me
Love spasms
And cherry blossoms
A feeling that is unequivocal to no other
I am
Practicing
Patience
