We've been together for a long time now.
Remember when you first told me you loved me?
I laughed,
thinking you joked,
and you told me again.
I cried.
Remember? I do.
It's been a long time since you told me you loved me
so now I tell you:
I love you
You look at me like you don't understand
I tell you again:
I love you
You look at me
this time with tears in your eyes
and hold me
as time stands still
