WE BURNED WHITE-HOT

I can think of no other way to say it

After eighteen days
We said I love you

I made your heart bounce
You made me picnic lunches at work

After twenty five days
We made I love you

I wrote you extemporaneous poems
You sent me love songs through texts

After thirty days
We said I accept you

I painted you the Sacred Heart
You did my laundry

After fifty-six days
We said I want you

We played guitar
We played darts

I loved you
I let you go

I can think of no other way to say it
