Before I commence with my poem, a couple of things: firstly, I would love to change the title, I just haven't come up with a solution yet (except one that directly names the person this work is about). Also, just as some context, this is directed towards my ex-boyfriend. I welcome any and all feedback!
I Should Have Told You
I should have told you how much I liked you.
I should have told you how much I missed you.
How I've always loved your laugh.
How I could see how nervous I made you.
How that was the sweetest thing.
That when I complained of the cold, what I wanted was to feel your arm around me.
How I got a bruise on the back of my head from time we spent the whole night laying against a log down by the water;
And how I loved that bruise because it always made me think of you.
To kiss me.
