Poems for Him

I Ship You

I ship Dramione.

I ship Tauriel and Kili

I ship Hans Solo and Princess Leia.

I ship you and me...

Love is a word that is thrown around way to often.

Say it enough and it will lose all meaning.

I love chocolate,

I love cheese,

I love Holiday breaks,

I love food;

I love you.

We have both used this word for meaningless things.

We have both used this word when we didn't mean it.

We have both used this word when everything inside us was screaming:

"You don't love this!" 

"You don't love that!" 

"You don't love them!!"

So then why did we use it?

We have both come to the mutual agreement that 'love' is a big word.

We have agreed that we will say 'love' when we know we mean it.

Until then, I ship you.

I ship you in the morning,

I ship you before bed,

I ship you when I'm mad at the world,

I ship you when I really wish I didn't.

I ship you to the point where everything inside of me is screaming:

"Just say it!  Say that one important word that you know you want to use because you know it's true..."

Say it.

Say it...

Please, say it....

I don't want to look like a fool when I say it and you don't.

We've said 'I ship you' for almost a month now...

And as we talk on the phone,

When my eyes are getting heavier and heavier,

And our voices start to get that scratchy sleepy voice,

And the clock reads 11:35 pm...

Everything changes with a small and meaningful:

"I love you"

And neither of us have said it and meant it to someone before...

But for the first time, we actually mean it...

Psst....

I love you.
