every time
I took a breath
"I love you" was the air
that was exhaled from
your lungs
and into mine
"I love you" kept me
alive
every time
i told the punchline wrong
"I love you" were the words
that filled the space
from your mouth
and mine
"I love you" filled my
space
every time
i made a mistake
"I love you" was the Band-Aid
that you dressed
my wounds with
and made my world okay
"I love you" was my
Band-Aid
and just like a Band-Aid
"I love you" hurts just
as much when it
is ripped from your
skin
