I wish you could read my mind

then I wouldn't have to tell you

you would know

how I feel about you.

I don't know how to tell you,

but maybe I can show you.

I remember the first time I saw you,

you were wearing a white shirt.

That was a mistake,

because I bumped into you at a coffee shop,

you hate cinnamon.

I spilled it all over you.

Ruining your white shirt.

I thought you would be angry

but you bought me another.

I apologized,

you said I could make it up to you,

with dinner.

I said yes, obviously.

You didn't wear a white shirt,

I was happy about that.

For two years we were happy,

until you wore a white shirt.

I spilled wine on your white shirt,

I apologized,

you said I could make it up to you.

You got down on one knee.

So here we are now,

you in a white shirt,

me in a white dress.

Trying to tell you how much I love you.

You're here smiling,

in your white shirt.
