Thirteen Ways to Say I Love You

i. calling you

in the morning

to start our day

together

 

ii. holding your hand

as if it is

the only thing

keeping me from

floating away

 

iii. crying when

you are with me-

 

iv. wiping tears

off your cheeks

when i am not

the one

crying.

 

v. playing you 

a song

 

vi./and turning

the volume down/

 

vii. do you like

this outfit?

 

viii. bringing you 

things i bake

in plastic containers 

and letting you

wash them when

they are empty

 

ix. coming over

for a hug

 

x. sneaking glances 

in class-

the hallway-

the car

window-

 

xi. running my fingers

through your hair,

holding all

my favorite parts of you

close

 

xii. asking if

you will drive

just so i 

can watch you

 

xiii. tired eyes

when we’re

together

because i can’t bear

to let this

moment

go
