I Think I Love You
I think I love you
and I’m not sure how to feel about that
Your body and words and touch consume my mind
But it scares me
I've never met another person
that clouds my vision like you do
I think about how you brush the hair
from your eyes and I think about
when you do the same to mine
I think about the way you speak
and the easy rhythm we have
I want to tell myself
that when you screw up
You didn’t mean it, it wasn’t your intent
I observe, maybe even study,
the battle between loving you
and holding you accountable
The accountability side is losing
and I’m not sure how I feel about it,
but I think I love you.
