HEARTS

HEARTS

For Mel

Is there a reason anyone needs to tell someone else:
I like you?
Or send some hearts, dancing around like little
Declarations of love?
I tend to think it does not matter when,
And that any time is a good time,
Or a right time.
Just more than once a year is good enough.


You need to tell the people in your life
They are important,
Not every day,
Because they’d get their heads in a cloud,
But sometimes,
Just sometimes
You need to say it out loud:
YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.
There, I said it.
It’s nothing physical,
Can’t even pinpoint why,
But it is true.


I am telling you right there, and here,
That I really like you.
And I add some hearts to this statement,
So you can see I am very serious,
And smiling the same time.
Any time is a good time,
And this time is your time!
