I say I love you
As often as I think I can,
Always at good-byes,
“See you later, I love you”
Just in case.
In case of anything,
In case of life happening,
Life ending.
That will be the last thing
You hear from me.
Because it’s weird,
To always be saying it.
Can you imagine?
“Pass the sugar, I love you.”
“Turn up the volume. I love you.”
“I hate that song.
I love you.
I love you.”
But at the same time
I find the ways I need
To tell you.
Like messages in plain sight
That your eyes pass over.
I say
“I made you tea.”
I love you.
“I saw this and thought of you.”
I love you.
“Let’s watch that show
We both love.”
“Be safe.”
“Stay warm.”
“Drive carefully.”
“Let me help.”
I love you
I love you
I love you.
