A word
Lost in the crowd of my mind
The voices whispering and yelling
Sobbing and cheering

A word
I almost miss
Almost don't hear in the chaos
The precious gift

A word
That makes everything
Fall dead silent
And turn attention on you

The speaker of that word
The bearer of that heavy meaning
The virgin to the sacrifice
The word

Love...

I listen hard, trying to hear what I think you said
Was it real?
Did you say that?
Did I hear you right?

You look me dead in the eye
And you say it again
And my heart bursts
Shatters

"I love you"

This is just some random thing.... I was recently just feeling super giddy and just went with it.........
