I love you
I am the one who's up all night thinking of you,
letting my imagination run wild with dreamscapes in some
other world, a microcosm of adoration, goddess
Venus, blue jeans and sun-streaked hair and a boy band rhyme scheme.
Every moment in these fantasies leads me back to you and me.
You look at me, as we coexist in these imaginings;
only us, the world is us and nothing but us and
under the star-speckled galaxy sky,
you say it out loud for the first time.
