So gently they came out
Almost a whisper of a sound
They mingled with the stillness
And a feeling so profound
I first heard those words
Such a long time ago
But now my world has smiled
My face began to glow.
I longed to hear those words again
Bringing the winds of change
I no longer felt I had to abstain
From feeling joy instead of pain
I said those words first
So soft yet so sweet
Magically and lovingly
Our eyes would meet
He reply came next
Forever to endear
As those wonderful words
Now flowed into my ears
"I love you!" I said,
And my words echoed back
From my lover's lips they came
Precise and intact
My spirit soon stirred
My soul was renewed
My heart beat loudly
As my thoughts flew
Over hills and valleys
Through time and space
I kissed him sweet lips
Gently caressing his face
My tears flowed freely
Gentle tracks down my cheeks
Overwhelmed by my silence
I was unable to speak
Always and forever are
These moments with you
They will be like a dream
That somehow came true.
