let the sun set on this

 

I heard you when you said you don’t like diamond cluster rings…

I heard you when you said grace before we ate our... meal…

I heard you when you said you want to learn from me…

I heard you when you said you want to be pursued…

I heard you when you said you want to be able to submit yourself to me…

I heard you when you said you “got trust issues…” 

And I’ll keep on hearing you until my ear drums are perforated…

Until those muscles near my eyes begin to twitch…

Until a thin fog develops in my eye, reducing my visibility…

Until the vertebrae in the base of my skull are numb…

And if you don’t believe me, I have the x-rays to prove how much I love you…
