Hello.
Had you known I loved you?
Had you known, you would have said
"Hello." right back to me.
You would have turned your head up
and mocked me with a smile.
Because you knew, I loved you.
I taught it to my brain
held it in my palms
& rolled it across my tongue.
& all along,
every breath I took
every part of speech I stuttered
was all an attempt
to say
"Hello. I love you."
