i love you.
what does that mean?
we’re a team, and
i’d live to be with you.
it’s a waking dream—
something steady
and ethereal,
precious and surreal.
my love for you is as strong and free
as the breeze
flowing through my hair on a drive.
it’s a nuanced and harrowing game
of battleship:
destroying defenses,
reconstructing pretenses.
my love for you is as silly and
liberating as streaking in the sun:
enticing,
inviting,
and a little reckless.
my love for you is alive.
