eight.
I can feel you.
I can feel you,
your eyes on me,
your hands on me,
you love me.

seven.
no calls, no texts,
I'm sorry.
you love me not.

six.
I love you with
movies, and games, and smiles.
with laughter, and pictures, and jokes.
you love me.

five.
I can't let you go
but you don't need me
like I need
you.
you love me not.

four.
I'll be the one to light the candles
on your birthday
everyone else forgot.
you love me.

three.
California, sunny days, shorts, tans.
Pools, dancing, fun, laughs.
surrounded by teenage beauties.
I'll misplace my clumsy fingers,
and say,
I wish-
I wish you were her.
you love me not.

two.
I'll stay up until nine
in the afternoon.
tell me everything
describe yourself
in only beautiful words.
you love me.

one.
one.
one.
one.
one.
one.
one.
one.
