Freeing Myself

Never Have I Ever

Have I ever told you the way you look at me makes my whole heart burst to life?

On a normal day it sits calm and unmoved, barely alive.

Have I ever told you that your smile is irresistible?

I find myself trying to catch it as much as I can, it lights up the world.

Have I ever told you that your laugh reaches into the depths of my soul?

It pulls me from the darkness and fills me with light until I'm laughing too.

Have I ever told you that your arms are the safest place I've ever been?

I trust you, and you could be poised to kill me and I know you'd do it quickly.

Have I ever told you that I love your mind?

Your random questions about anything and everything light my imagination on fire.

Have I ever told you how funny you are?

To others it might be ridiculous, but that little voice will always make me not mad at you. You dork.

Have I ever told you that your eyes are my favorite?

I love that I find answers there, ones you can never say, that your mind won't let you.

Have I ever told you that I would do anything for you?

I would gladly protect you, and do whatever it would take to keep you happy and safe.

Have I ever told you I love you?

Do you actually believe it?

Do you know I mean it?

There are so many words I'll never be able to write or say, but I hope you understand.

Everything is going to be fine, just take my hand.

Trust me.
