These Words Are For You

…

“Come closer to me,

I want to hold your hand.

You make my skin tingle

so much that I can’t stand.

I want to fall asleep here,

right here in your arms.

I feel safe when I’m with you;

contented and unharmed.”

…

I always hoped I’d feel these things,

though I've always feared it, too.

The only thing that surprised me

is that I feel them for you.

…

“I love being with you.

You make me feel at ease.

I should probably go home,

but I want to stay with you, please.

You are beautiful.

You could one day be my wife.

I find myself trusting you

with much more than my life.”

…

My heart is beating erratically,

my breathing’s haywire, too.

I thought one day I’d hear these things,

I just never dreamed they’d come from you.
