people keep telling me to slow down,
i’m moving too fast
too excited
when her name leaves my tongue
“calm down, you’re not even together yet”
but the word _yet_ sticks out to me
and i don’t want a slow love, one that i can
shut up and sit still and not think about
i want an thought consuming, time wasting,
smile until my cheeks hurt for hours
kind of love
i want a can’t won’t refuses to shut up...
