To Say How I Love You - A Poem by Sierra Hemingway

Oh, if I could say how I love you

to everyone I meet. To try to

express that you are the one I love,

but here, you are all but visible, no one is above

you and I

your laugh, smile and voice, only exist within me here.

How can anyone believe that I am your dear,

that I am who call sweetheart and you are

whom I call my love, as my heart is open and bare

to you, only

I’m no Juliet, and yet, you are my Romeo

Though no one may ever know,

How sweet you are to love me so far apart,

But you do, and even though it’s not easy,

You love me every day, like it’s a new start
