14 Love Poems-Why Can't I Just Share With You? — Summary

I have 13 poems about you- That's definitely way too much. Good thing you terrify me, Or I'd let you read them all during lunch.

Maybe I should share some- Is this number 14? This is how I know With you I have a thing.

If I thought I was in love With anybody the past 2 grades, This is my wake-up slap. Hey, can you never go away? Has anyone told you you're cool? No, I bet they don't Cause I'm the only one who sees you.

It's a shame I'm all alone But at least I have you to myself. Hey Park, one final question: Can you and I go out?

Dalilahshigaraki's poem is a crush confessed in real time. The speaker has already written thirteen poems about someone, which feels like far too many to hand over, and the person is just scary enough that sharing them at lunch is out of the question. Then, partway through, the speaker seems to realize that the poem itself is number fourteen. That moment is the giveaway: "With you I have a thing."

The feelings are a mix of nerves, surprise, and sweetness. The speaker thinks they may have mistaken earlier crushes for love, and calls this one a "wake-up slap." There's also a hint of loneliness, since the speaker believes they're the only one who really sees how cool this person is, and finds that both sad and kind of nice, because it feels private. The poem ends by naming the person, Park, and asking outright if they'll go out.

The mood is shy, funny, and hopeful. The casual, chatty voice makes it feel like a thought that tumbles out before the speaker can lose their nerve.

Thank You For Being Kind

I'm glad you didn't make a disgusted sound When she asked if we were dating, Cause that would have really broke my heart And I'm not sure I'd be able to talk to you if you did.

I'll Admit That I'm In Love

Do your eyes follow me The way mine follow you? I know sometimes you watch me, I don't really mind, you know.

If I awoke inside your body, I'd treat it with such care. I'd be so gentle with it, You'd never know I had been there.
