Why I love you
I love you
I know I probably say it too much
Or maybe I don’t say it enough,
But you see I’m afraid if the words don’t touch the air
If my voice does not pierce the silence
Or graze the center of you ear
That you may never know dear
How much I love you
So please don’t take my sunshine away
Like last year when I spent 6 weeks in a darkness so thick I could not get out of bed.
You see I never know when the darkest days will happen
I never know when I might not have the strength to send a message
So while I do
While the world isn’t shattered glass
While I can still watch you smile,
I love you.
Let the moonlight hold us in her arms
Let the stars applaud as we dance
Let the cicadas become an orchestra
And hear my heart beating the chorus
I know some days I am a ghost
Some months I become a sailor lost at sea, but I will always come home.
Because I love you.
I will write poems
And sonnets
And stories
And symphonies
To remind you how you are loved
Let the tapestries fall to reveal my heart written in the cracks on the walls
Let the tide go out and reveal my love scribbled in the sand
Do not forget to whom my heart belongs
For even when the seas are rising
And the towers are crumbling
And the fires are burning
And the tears are falling
And the skies split open wide
I will always love you
Till the end of time
