Ive written words of love throughout the years
Ive been certain of loves that were true
I granted others powerful emotion
That I should have saved for you

For all my words before I found you
Seem childish and naive
I know we dont claim the title of firsts
but we get to be the ones that will never leave

But now I struggle with my words
For my stupidity makes them appear less sincere
But I breathe love for you every waking second
And I pine for you any second you arent near

I miss you even when youre next to me
I fear without reason one day you wont be at my side
But I laugh and love every single day
And when I look at you there's nothing you hide

And I am so happy it pulses through me
I am at peace and I feel whole
You complete me as if you always meant to
As if you fused with my own soul

I see the crease of your eye when it loves me
I know the trace of your mouth when you smile
I feel the unspoken language of lovers around us
And so everything before was worthwhile

If I had to feel what ive spoken once
In order to know how I love you now
Then Id go back and do it over and over
If that was the only way to reach you fate would allow

And what does it matter if Ive said words before
When you and I have our own perfect unspoken word
When whispers of love and happiness shimmer around
And we're the only ones in the world who heard.
