For Bradley

Ive written words of love throughout the years Ive been certain of loves that were true I granted others powerful emotion That I should have saved for you For all my words before I found you Seem childish and naive I know we dont claim the title of firsts but we get to be the ones that will never leave But now I struggle with my words For my stupidity makes them appear less sincere But I breathe love for you every waking second And I pine for you any second you arent near I miss you even when youre next to me I fear without reason one day you wont be at my side But I laugh and love every single day And when I look at you there's nothing you hide And I am so happy it pulses through me I am at peace and I feel whole You complete me as if you always meant to As if you fused with my own soul I see the crease of your eye when it loves me I know the trace of your mouth when you smile I feel the unspoken language of lovers around us And so everything before was worthwhile If I had to feel what ive spoken once In order to know how I love you now Then Id go back and do it over and over If that was the only way to reach you fate would allow And what does it matter if Ive said words before When you and I have our own perfect unspoken word When whispers of love and happiness shimmer around And we're the only ones in the world who heard.
