Heart

I wanted to write you a poem
to tell you about my secrets

i wanted to tell you about my midnight drives
and how the air smells
when the air is heavy
and the stars are out.

I wanted to paint you pictures
of these skies
and horizons
and the outline of trees
that are in love.

I wanted to whisper in your ear
about the music I sing
and the tears that follow
and the wishes i make
to closed windows.

I wanted to write you a poem
of the beauty i seem to find
but can't seem to grasp.

To tell you that I love you.
