Love Spoken Aloud

Don't go, don't leave, don't ever forget the girl inside of me.

Don't doubt that I love you, and don't say until next time.

Just hear me out, just hear these words:

 

You're the song I sing to every single day,

The lullabuy I sing to so I can fall asleep.

You're the blood in my veins that flows strongly,

That pours out of my heart.

You're another man to others, a mere mortal,

But to me, you're a God I worship,

A creature who can live forever.

And you want me to picture you,

And you want me to think of what I like.

 

Dear, this is what I picture, what I think:

 

Darkness is around you and I am the light shining through.

A blade to your throat and I am the one who will cut

A tear brimming those eyes of yours and I am the one who wipes it away

A gasp for air when you choke and I am the oxygen crowding in

Your knees hit the ground your body in sync and I am the hands that pick you up

Your heart sits alone and unmoving but I am the love everlasting

Fears come alive inside and I am the one scaring them away

Death is inside of you and I am the life moving in

Your lips once could not lift up and I am the one causing them to smile

You wish for life and I will give you offspring

Wish for your own life and I will give you mine

 

Now close your eyes and picture this:

 

My hands are holding you gently, and my eyes are not looking away from yours.

My body is close for the first time, and it's yours.

My heart is against your chest, beating fast, and the distance is being closed.

My lips press to yours softly, gentle in the firm connviction,

And a change comes about when I've filled you whole.

Pull back slowly, and listen close,

Because I'm dying to tel you how long I will love you,

And I know for certain that I do.

My voice is quiet, but it's strong.

Hear the chimes ring and the toddlers laugh.

Hear the crowd cheer and the merry joy of wedding.

Hear the monitor beep to a tune of slow retirement,

And hear me out.

Through time and time again, I will say what is true,

And in this moment, and soon to be future,

Hear my voice say:

"Forever and always."

 

Don't go, don't leave, don't ever forget the girl inside of me.

Don't doubt that I love you, and don't say until next time.

Just hear me out, just hear these words:

"Forever and always, I love you."
