"I must have been dreaming" you said.
I laid quietly pretending to be asleep.
But you weren't dreaming, you heard me right.
Last night like every night I whispered
those three words in your ear
as I huddled closer to your warmth.
Three little words I dare not say out loud..
it's kind of crazy how a phrase that
resembles the projection of one's heart
could be so scary.
It's not like you don't know it,
in everything I say or do,
and every time I look at you..
those three words.
And the hundreds of times you've
asked me what I'm thinking
when I see your face and smile..
and I just pat your hand or hug you and
"it's nothing".
All the while I'm thinking to myself,
those three words.
It's like I think you won't believe me
if I told you how I feel,
as if you'd never understand
that it's so powerful, so real.
Maybe some things need not be said.
Perhaps it's enough for us that exist
the way we do.
You're there for me, I'm here for you.
Never a day passes that I don't
Hold you close and whisper...
Those Three Words.
