I want to tell you I love you
In a way
That does not
Include me
But my first word was
I and I
Want to say I’m sorry
But that’s also about me
So instead I’ll tell you
mama oyata aadarei
So there is
nothing
between us,
And the love follows suit,
like a necessary consequence
of our proximity
Or maybe
Je t’aime
As if you, my love
And my love for you
are inextricable
But I think I prefer
Te amo
Where you are the genesis
And I am the afterthought
And love takes center stage
As it should
