a typewriter poem – written on the spot for a lady’s partner
i love you – i said it first
but you say it more
this is me saying i love you
i love you for all who you are
the stability to my instability
i love you for the fragility
i love you in our lack of nicknames
in the knack you have for kindness
in the slack you give me when I’ve made a mistake
when I’m a flake
i love you for the way you embrace me
help me face my fears
i want to spend all my years with you
cry all my tears with you
i love you for all who you are
all that we do
all that we are
together
i love you
i said it first you say it more
but i love you
