it's a token of my appreciation
a concept, if you will
something meant to be kept secret
but too tempting not to spill

a wordless conversation
only meant for lovers
the sentences intertwined
by legs under the covers

your oversized jumper
representing the colour blue
our love is disappointing
for it's described by that colour too

but all your warmth tints in red
something closer to the heart
you should know that i care
especially since we're further apart

and i retract my words
deeming them unbelievable
for i lie about a love
that isn't visible

drawn by serendipity
the most intense love story
one recommended for books
for these things aren't natural to be

the rose opens its petals
becoming more beautiful with age
as i start to fall
the pieces leave with me

so as i kiss my own hand
whispering praises into my palm
they don't have to understand
since, right now, i'm my only love
