Confession

I've had this feeling for awhile, you know- love.
I was sitting with a girlfriend last night,
Scheming of ways to connive you into saying the words back to me
And we came up with this grandiose plan,
Short of hiring a skywriter to spell it out for you.
But earlier this evening, as I was watching your profile,
With the soft lavender hue of the television playing on your skin,
The words slipped it out of my mouth.
And before I could slap the confession away,
I blurted
"Fuck it. I think I'm in love with you."
And you looked at me slowly and for one heartbreaking moment,
I thought you weren't going to say it back.
But you kissed me
And I kissed you.
Then right there, as we took a break from watching the Teen Choice Awards,
We said I love you for the very first time.
My plan will go to waste.
My skywriter will remain unemployed.
As for us?
Fuck everyone. We're in love.
