So That All We Hear Is The Chirp Of A Lonely Bird Poem by Yaritza Florencio

Some Crazy thing inside told me money is what anyone would want
Or some Material thing you could easily flaunt
But inside an emotionless place
I found something money could never replace
I kind of realized I have something to tell you
Something I know you knew
But even if you know
Here I go:

I love you how a fat boy likes cake
How the Earth loves the sun when it wakes

I love you how the stars love the moon
How Indians love the Monsoon

I love you how coffee loves sugar and cream
I love you how pillows love a good dream

I love you how fans love their team
I love you how a little boy loves his new scheme

I love you how plants love the light
I love you how the winds love a kite

I love you how a library loves books
I love you how haters love giving dirty looks

I love you like clouds love the sky
I love you how tears love a good cry

I love you how hell loves a bad deed
I love you how a car loves the speed

I love you how trump loves his money
I love you how bees love their honey

I love you how a rainbow loves color
I love you how a kid loves to grow an inch taller

I love you how the Mets love to lose
I love you more than I love my shoes

I love you more than I love video games
I love how a fire loves its flames


I love you how you hate yellow
How a little girl somewhere loves Jell-O

I love you more than I will ever tell you face to face
More than any disagreement could ever erase

I love you how my lips will never be able to say
I love you like everything of everyday

If someday you say I love you
Inside, I’m shouting “I love you too”
Even if I hide it with a smile
Even if it takes a while

You will see that I don’t need words to say I love you anyway
Imagine if someday someway someone takes these words away
Then will we just have no way to say?

More than words is what I need
So my silence does not mislead

So that all you hear is the chirp of a lonely bird
And finally know I love you, without me saying a word.
