arms curling around you in a protective sort
i whisper your name and
dripping from my lips
the delicate words you crave to hear;

"i love you"

yet they never fall on your open ears
instead i say;

"you are my light"
"you are the sun"
"you are the stars i wish upon at night"

and i believe that means much more,
seeing as i've been in the dark
all my life
to be granted by something as bright as you
i'm honored
