Almost 5 years ago

A swarm of emotion fills my mind
as I look up at your face
from the right side of the bed. 
Your voice was all I heard 
in that moment of clarity. 
A phrase I'm still not prepared for. 
A phrase I always want to hear.
When the meaning of love is felt 
not just heard through my insufficient ears. 
I can't fool my heart
like I can fool my senses. 
I know this can't be real. 
I must be thinking up a wishful scenario. 
But in this moment
I realize I'm awake. I'm aware. 
More than ever. 
You're the one I want.
You're the one I need. 
You're the one who shows me I'm allowed to be loved. 
Only when that lump in my throat appears
do I know it's true.
