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.
aw was it 5 yrs ago he told you he loved you?
