Forever
"Do you love me?"
My answer was a blatant "Yes."
What I meant was,
More than anything;
more than anything else in the world.
More than I can begin to tell you,
in clumsy words and broken sentences.
I meant to tell you,
More than all the stars in the sky,
More than a plant loves the sun it grows for,
needs,
depends on,
reaches toward forever.
I wanted to say,
More than every blade of grass
that covers the land.
Every drop of water in the sea.
But I ran out of time,
or I couldn't find the words.
And my voice dried up while I stood there,
silent,
And finally gave up and said
"Yes."
