Forever and Ever

Stop, don't move,

Stand right there

Where the wind dances through your brown hair

And your eyes gleam in the sunlight

And your smile creeps to the corners of your mouth.

Don't move! I've got to get this moment down.

Don't ever, ever change who you are.

Don't ever feel like you are not beautiful,

Like you are not worthy to be loved.

Wait, please, just a second longer

As I fumble with this stupid camera.

Let me take this picture to always remember

Just how wonderfully perfect you are.

I don't care what you say

About the way you in look in the morning

Or how your bangs always fall into your face

Or how lonely you sometimes feel at night

Or how you doubt yourself too many times.

I don't care that you wonder if people will like you

And if you sometimes feel scared on the inside.

Wait, wait! Almost ready.

Keep your pose

While I capture your image

On this screen.

Look, come see:

Beautiful, Amazing, Pure, and True.

You just don't know how much I really love you.

And I don't care about all those voices in your head

Or all those worries and doubts and insecurities,

Because I know what you are to me:

Friend, lover, soulmate, forever and ever.
