i. i've never been in love with
anyone but i've loved the way
you kissed, loved the way you are endlessly gentle, i have
loved—
ii. i've never been in love with anyone but i have
loved the nights we walked around until late and the streetlights
lit up the way for us
iii. i've never been in love with anyone but i
remember the October
night we sat inside the dark purple slide and you held onto
my hands and your cheeks were bright pink because of
the
cold and i remember what i felt—too much, too
much—
iiii. i've never been in love
with anyone
but we came pretty
god damn
close
