How Can I Tell Her?

A Sonnet

By Marco Matthew Belarmino

Grade 9 - Mercy

Why do we confess love to each other?

Because it’s how we show our love at night.

We exchange promises to each other.

I slept and dreamt of great love in my life.

When love was first introduced, it was light.

It was a light that came upon my bed.

I think about it every day and night.

The love we share is big, soft, nice, and red.

I found love the first time you and I met.

You were the one my heart wanted to tell.

I wanted to confess to you and let

You know that when I first saw you, I fell.

My deep love for you could be something great.

I will love you no matter it takes.
