I'm In Love With You

By Vanshi Desai

I like the way you pronounce every syllable of my name. Teasing. Testing. And the way you pour too much creamer and too little sugar in your coffee. You organize every comic from most to least favourite and you use fancy words and over justify yourself, all defensive, as though you cannot stand being misunderstood. Being around you makes me feel breathless, like I’ve run a marathon and I cannot stand the fact that you’ve carved your name into my ribs and that I let you. You hold onto old CDs, always drive over the speed limit and when I imagine us sitting on a kitchen island, going through the grocery list, I cannot think of anything I want more.
