I love you too, it’s just that
I left your Valentine’s card
in my other coat.
It was really good, I promise,
filled to the brim with heavy poetry
and all kinds of sweet stuff.
Look, you’re right… I could go home
and get the coat but
what kind of relationship is this
if you can’t trust my love without proof?
Did you bring your stethoscope too?
I used a love heart to dot the “I”.
Yes, I know, there’s no “I” in my name.
It’s a figure of speech.
You should be used to them by now.
Yes, of course I could have
used a heart
for the “o” in LOVE but
the words I chose for you
were better than simple love.
My poetry crushed small buildings
with its weak sentiment.
I used every trick in the book
to make you love me.
But I’m sorry,
you’ll just have to trust me,
for I left my love for you
in another coat,
in another house,
in a world
I don’t visit very often.
