Speechless

My cheek rests
upon your shoulder
My lips whisper
your name
My eyes light up
when I hear you say:
"Do you like me?"

Thousands of words
to say
Millions more
ways to say them.
My lips burn with
anticipation.

I love you, is no
longer enough.
For my love
extends over bridges,
My love crosses
oceans,
My love reaches
to the tips of mountains,
And my love runs
to places that I'll never go,
But at least, for now,
we share the sky
that covers the space
between us

"Do you like me?"
Your voice echoes through me
Imitating my pulse
Thousands of words
to say
Millions more
ways to say them.
"I love you."
