-First-

If I fall in love with you
I'll write about you endlessly
Until the constant flow of syllables
Piece together perfectly
I'll send a million thoughts your way
Over a starry telephone line
But the only thing you'll hear is "I love you"
And that will be just fine 
In a flurry of activity 
I'll stop to text you emoji kisses
Because if I had a genie in a bottle
You'd take up all my wishes 
I'll sharpie your name on my wall
Like the way it feels on my mind
I'll list a thousand ways you make me happy
And a thousand more for how we're blind
I'll talk about the future
Because I know it'll be with you
I always get way too attached
But you'll keep your word and be true
This poem will be a memory
With all its greeting card rhymes
Because you will be with me
And there's no one better I could find
If I fall in love with you
I'll mean every stinking word
When I say that I love you
It will mean I loved you first.
