us
one.
shall i compare
our love to
the english language?
we are just as complicated,
built with rules and structures.two.
a semicolon weaved
between days where
we do not
talk out of anger and
pride; caving eventually from love.three.
a colon for
a list of
things i love
about you: your kindness, the
way you cry at movies.four.
a hyphen born
from our constant
want to be
with one another- inexplicably drawn
together like moths to flames.five.
a pair of
quotation marks for
the times we
mouthed our “i love yous”
like they were national secrets.six.
a comma situated
between pauses of
sentences, where we
were too afraid to say
what we really wanted to.seven.
kisses punctuate the
end of sentences
where ellipses are
supposed to be… i was
never one for rules anyway.
