i write
all of my
i love yous
in permanent
marker across my
whiteboard heart
painting your
name in pastel
as your words
whisper in
electrified
cursive along
my every nerve
as i try to
remind myself
i need to
breathe
falling farther
into you
with every
stray thought
as the marker
squeaks upon
the heart that
belongs to
the wildflowers
in your smile
