I will not say I love you out loud [poem]

I will bite my tongue and only murmur the words in my sleep
until the day you tell me there’s love between us
let my dandelion love play the unnoticed weed
growing in the cracks of the pavement
I will sprout love almost anywhere you know
but I will never presume a permanent home
after all
most weeds are unwanted guests
you never invited in the first place
