i can imply it until my hearts content but i cannot say it. i will not say it. the syllables push up my throat, choke me and halt my breathing but i refuse to let them out, choosing instead to utter "i love that" as the remains trickle down to my chest, glowing a shade of gold ive never seen. to my stomach, a caged home to the butterflies founded by you.
