“I love you” in disguise

“Text me when you’re home.”

“I thought of you when I saw this…”

“Are you okay, really?”

“I believe in you.”

“Be safe.”

“I’m the best version of me when I’m around you.”

“You feel like home.”

“We’ll get through this together.”

“As long as you’re happy, I’m happy.”

Happy love month everyone!!

I know this is far from a traditional poem about love, but I find that sometimes some of the most poetic statements and music to our ears can just be that one simple thing that you’ve always needed to hear. As an ode to love in general, I decided to write a free verse poem that pays tribute to some small ways that someone can tell you they love you through one simple phrase.

If anyone is open to sharing, I’d also love to hear something else someone may have said to you that proved to you that they loved you without actually saying those three little words.
