Letter

awsmpossum's picture

I read your words
And already
I love you more
Than the girl with the soft tan skin.

You are open
Like your crayon-colored envelope
And you signed your note with love.

I want to write you letters
And let you fill my lawn
With your thoughts,
Picnicking on the perfect green grass
And shedding insecurities
Like too many warm blankets.

I too am scared
I'm tricking myself.

Love,
Kate
