Have I Told You That
Have I told you that I love the way the sun falls gently on your lips,
or the way your laugh causes a happy story to erupt in my mind.
Have I told you that I love you?
Have I told you that I have a secret?
Have I ever told you about my favorite shows,
my dreams,
the way I think about you when I listen to the old lo-fi songs on YouTube.
Have I told you that I remember when we were younger and I’d chase you around,
did I ever tell you that I wish I could have kept you in my arms?
Have I told you that I wish so much that you would have kept sleeping on my arm forever,
or that we could have kept passing love notes to each other?
Have I told you that for the last twelve years I have loved you?
I loved you from the first time I saw you,
but I guess it's better to stay silent than tell you.
I’m just afraid if I told you,
we might not be the same.
Have you ever asked me what my favorite song was,
or how I would cry at the thought of you not being in my life?
Have I ever told you that when I hug my stuffed animal at night I wish it were you there instead,
that your warmth could hold me in the cold dark of night?
My dearest friend,
have I told you that I love you?
