11:55am

‍

We used to argue

every single night

while I laid in bed.

‍

over who loved who more.

With every single

“I love you more,”

my heart sped up.

‍

For a second

when you said,

“No, I love you more,”

‍

I believed you.

‍

Because my smile grew bigger

and the heavy weight on my shoulders

suddenly went away.

‍

But, just as quickly as you,

I said,

“Nope, you don’t!”

And I bit my lip

waiting for the exact same response.

‍

But then,

I snapped back into reality

when you were leaving

and these tears burned

and my heart slowed.

‍

You shut the door behind you.

Finally,

I said,

“I was right. I did love you more”
