Three Words

You ask me, how do I know?
And I wonder, how do I explain
that feeling that poets have
endlessly tried to capture

How do I tell you
That your touch centers me
bringing me a peace
I’ve never known

How do I tell you
that your smile
is the sun that warms me
from the inside out

How do I tell you
that your eyes
say more than words
could ever tell me

How do I tell you
that your laughter
is the light that
guides me though the dark

How do I tell you
that your mere presence
makes me feel safer than any walls
around my heart ever could

How do I tell you
that I’ve never been
as confident in myself
as I am with you

How do I tell you
that when I’m with you
being me is the
easiest thing in the world

How do I tell you
that three little words
say all that I feel for you
yet will never say enough

So

So and so and so again
and so I say no more
Sew and sew and sew again
my tattered heart upon the floor

Go and go and go again
and so I go no more
Sew and sew and sew in vain
those wounds received in war

Run and run and run again
and so I run no more
No longer must I sew again
You’ve healed my heart for sure.
