I Loved I Love You

I loved you when my heart broke and we smoked in your car.

I loved you when you brought me back by saying “I love you.”

I loved you when we held her as she left from this world.

I loved you when we got lost and forgot who we are.

I love you forever, for always, for being my you.

A Series of Perfect Moments

I struggle to find the right moment in a series of perfect moments.

I search for the perfect time, when the words will tumble out of my mouth and into your heart.

Every moment spent with you is the right moment, and my anxiety whispers, “I’m sure he knows.”

But what if you don’t know?

What if you don’t know how much I care?

I cradle your head in my lap, smooth your hair and whisper “I love you” as you slip into your sleep.
