She said
no one
but her dad
has ever bought her flowers before.
Well, I did.
She said
no one
has ever made her
a playlist before.
Well, I’ve made her four.
She said
the most important thing
in a relationship for her
was being best friends
with her partner.
Well, she and I became best friends.
She said
no one has ever
read books out loud to
her before.
Well, I did.
She said
no one has ever
dedicated a book to her.
Well, I did.
She said
her soul was black.
I said, no,
it’s green and blue—
back then we didn’t argue.
She can never see herself
from a different view.
I told her
I’ve never said the words,
“I love you,” to anyone.
Well,
she was the one I
told it to.
And it was true.
A few weeks later and she said,
“I love you, too.”
And I think it was true.
