It's safe to say
I've never loved someone like this before.

This kind of love
makes every white car yours-
makes me wish
girls didn't hug you on you birthday.

This kind of love
has me acting like a badass
putting on dresses
I swore I'd never wear in public.

Has me relish every moment with you
though in half of them
you didn't even notice me.


This kind of love
tricks me into being content
with brushing past you on the weekdays.
Tricks me
into sacrificing
for something I may never have.

This kind of love
has me holding on because it's the most constant thing
I have ever felt.

And for six years
has had me belonging
only
to you.
