A Declaration Followed by Awkward Silence

What if I told you that I'm going
To love you, from two years ago
Until I am dead? What if I added
That I am undisciplined, reckless,
Amoral, as you know I am. Would
My promise seem to be truthful then?
What if I said that I think that you
Love me? I know that you love
Me, but you'll never say. You are
Not amoral or reckless. You're
Disciplined. You won't own up
To anyone, even yourself, how
You feel about me, even after
I'm dead.
