How Can You Top That?

Songs playing in the back ground as we talk about love & life.
Laughs coming & going as conversations change.
Your sweet smile makes an appearance everytime our eyes meet.
The music continues to play but I don't hear a single word.
All I hear is my heart beating as I anxiously worry about not fucking up this moment.
You say those words & I just smile because who can ever top that?
Who can reply to the words "I am happy to have you in my life" & it have equal value?
A "me too" isn't appropriate.
But your hands are on the side of my face & our lips centimeters apart 
and I feel that feeling in my gut.
Of love & hope, maybe even a full stomach, 
Of dreams & schemes we will make & conquer.
Of everything I could ever pray for, how it's all right here in front of me.
I know you don't need me to say anything after your statement.
How this peaceful silence is enough for you yet I must speak. 

I must respond, yet

All I have is "me too"
