Stupid in Love
I’m Devon & I’m / crazy! & stupid! in love!
by Devon Webb
I’m so stupid in love
so embarrassingly inexperienced but uh
passionate
& a quick learner!
It’s so stupid the way I’m
so in love I don’t know how to
tell you about being in love
I’m out of my depth
but in my element,
if that makes sense?
I’m out of my depth in my element
I am drowning pleasurably
I am the tarot interpretation
of The Fool
I am standing on the edge of a precipice
in the Summer bliss of a limitless sky
You are at my feet
like a little dog
haha
so cute……… it’s stupid
So stupid!
the way you introduce me as
my uhhhhhh………
& I have to say………. I’m Devon
I’m Devon & I’m
crazy!
& stupid!
in love!
I’m Devon & I’m
yours
despite my predilections & the
depth of the unknown
I’m Devon & I’m
already in the surprise
how I never quite knew everything
how I grow ever inward into you.
