if she said
“i love you”
and meant it
i’d stop
everything
and catch a plane
to her lips
so I could reside in her arms
forever
if she said
“…i love you”
and meant it
i’d probably
break
down
and look
to the sky
and find
my grey cloud parting
at long last
if she said
“j’taime”
ma belle, mon cœur
i’d dance in the rain
in the joy
of my tears
let my feet speakeasy
tip toe ballet
if she said
“i love you”
and meant it
i’d tell
the lonely things
that miracles
exist
that outstretched hands
always find touch
that
the ice
will
melt
if she said
“i love you”
and meant it
i would know that
my
i love you
i have always loved you
i will always love you
my “i love you”s
did not go in vain
they found your ears
and settled in your heart
and they will…
forever
