Rain pouring down on a Sunday afternoon,

The sound of your voice,

Staying in and enjoying some tea,

Watching our favorite show,

Your body against mine,

Dancing our hearts out to music.


I turn to my lover and ask

" Do you love me? "

And they replied

" Of course I do. Why do you ask? "

I look at them with sad eyes

" Because this feels like a fantasy and I'm afraid that it isn't real. "

They pull me close and hold me

as if I'll fall apart.


" Is my heart beat still there for you to listen to at night when you can't sleep? "

I put my ear to they chest and

hear that drum that keeps us alive and nod.


" Are my arms there to catch you when you fall? "

Looking at their arms that are wrapped around my waist and nod.


" Do you still hear my voice for when you need help I will be there to talk you through it? "

Hearing you voice and listening intently to every word they say and nod.


"So does that answer your question? "

Turning my head to my lover


" Yes. "

I whisper as I am knelt over a fresh patch of dirt

My tear stained face leaned against your tombstone

As the memories

of us together rack my brain ,

I whisper


" Always and forever. "
