Tell them…
That the sun rises in their smile and sets in their eyes…
That they run through your mind like a child at recess…
That their touch lights a fire and you can’t find any water…
That the jade case holding your heart is open…
Tell them…
That they are the poem that wakes you up in the morning…
That they are the song that gives you peace…
That your lens is in love with their frame…
That theirs is the forehead that you want to kiss first thing in the morning…
Tell them…
That your heart thinks they are sized perfect…
That your soul wants to commune with theirs…
That they are the parachute and you are ready to jump…
That you can survive the impact of falling together…
Tell them…
That life is too short for them not to be in yours…
That you are afraid you will lose yourself within them…
That you want to memorize all the dimensions of their Bruce Wayne…
That crushes can turn into forever with the right ingredients…
Tell them…
That they have your ear muffs…
That their arms are your security blanket…
That your entire being screams yes even through paralyzed lips…
That you dare them to give it a try…
Tell them…
Or they may never know.
