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
