‘Taylor Swift Told Me To Tell You I Love You’: a Short Poem

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SLU chapter.

I’m sorry 

but 

I’m going to quote Taylor Swift 

a hundred times to you 

before I finally find the courage to say 

“I love you.”

To me 

it’s the same, 

I’m just trying to put us into words.

Eventually I’ll find my own. 

Eventually I’ll say my own. 

But for now 

I’ll promise you:

“Your eyes shine like pretty lights” 

“This is a love story” 

“You are the best thing that’s ever been mine”

“and all I know is you’ll be mine and I’ll be yours” 

because “we’re made of starlight”

“The rest of the world is black and white

but we’re in screaming color”

“You’re all I want, I’ll never let you go” 

“You’re the one I want in paper rings, 

in picture frames” 

“I never needed anything more” 

“Wherever you stray, I’ll follow” 

You’re 

my 

my 

my 

my 

LOVER.
