You don't know that
every dab of shimmer on my eyelids
is for you
and that my hair is brushed into place
only because I know that you'll see me
You don't know that
every smile of hapiness on my lips
is from you
and that I walk with exuberence
because I know that you'll be here today
You don't know that
every daydream that I lose myself in
contains you
and that my hope seems so undying
because I know that we have each other
You don't know that I'm infatuated with you,
but I'm enjoying myself too much to care.
I could
listen to your heart
with intensity,
but I'm too
fond of
hearing my
own voice
prattle on and on and on and on and on,
as if I had something
important to say.
If you
must
drown inside,
do so
quitely,
so I can keep conversing
with my ego.
