is this romance

i will breathe softly
softly against your skin
all the words i'm too afraid to say out loud
because i am a coward with expectations and
without promises
"stay" and 
"today i love you with all my heart"

they will not reach your ears
but i will mumble them past your lips
and growl them against the arch of your spine
and let them settle into the dips made by your collar bones

if i whisper
if i'm silent
if i scream it

will you hear me

and will you understand

?
