love notes (no. 1 & no. 2)

mk saye

no. 1

I never thought 

I’d ever be in love 

truly

until bright days turned 

into inky black nights 

and I found myself alone 

saying your name 

like a prayer 

no. 2

if i could catch the moon for you

 i would. 

and wrap it up in blue shimmery paper.

i would tell you that it’s only yours 

because i know how much isn’t.

many people love you 

   (i know this for a fact;

   i’m not the first, and won’t be the last)

but i love you all the same. 

every day people ask

what is about them. 

and often 

it’s very little. 

but know 

that this is just for you 

and i am too
