THERE ARE THINGS I DON'T WANT TO SAY


There are things I don't want to say
In your hair
and in your eyes,
Words between the strands
and the lines in your irises.

Words that I'm afraid to say, because
What if,


You joke about us getting married,
and my heart skips a beat
lands in my throat,
and stays there for half a second,
before sliding back down,
and I laugh.

But what if...
