I Will Love You Forever

I will love you forever
I whisper
through sleep’s heavy veil
(my heart aches with the force of it
the pressure of something divine
that time
Itself
has yet to find a description to explain).

I know your waking ear can’t hear me
but somewhere
in my mind
of theories
and thought
I hope
I pray
that you may, somehow, sometime
discover these words
As I Have discovered
the joy of you.

And so, I whisper…

I will love you forever
My sweet, sweetest dear
I will love you forever
I will always be here.

I will always be with you
Waiting, waiting, you’ll see
‘Cause you are my everything
And forever we’ll be.

Together
Forever
Just you
And me.

And somewhere
in your dreams
you hear me.
And near me
now
you smile.
