you said
I love you
the first time like
it was a
prayer
whispered
into the hushed
space
between then and
now
where starlight could
settle and dreams would
wait.
you said
I love you
again
like strawberry
chapstick that
clung
to my thoughts
for weeks.
you say
I love you
every morning and
it smells like the
coffee
you make before
church.
you say
I love you
and it feels like
forever
until our forever
runs away
from
us.
