He Finally Said "I Love You"

-

 As I looked into his eyes

And found his longing stare

I stopped myself from saying words

That would show how much I care.

 I put my hand up to his face

To hold my feelings in

I wouldn't say the words again

To show my love for him.

The last time I had told him

How much he meant to me

He put my hands away from his

And said to leave him be.

I never spoke the words again

For fear of his deep fright

I thought it was the last time

Until that blissful night.

His fingers traced around my face

Pushing hair away

And I was quite unprepared

For what he was to say.

My heart beat quickly, my head raced on

I thought that I might cry

He looked as if he might faint

Imagine this strong guy.

But never would I be more impressed

With anything he'd do

Than when he took that heartful leap

And told me, "I love you."

Psalm 32 - KJV

-
  The   Lord   is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the  Lord  for ever.

Before

 I ran into my past again A yesterday to see I rain into my memories Before I'd known me Before you were my best friend I didn't have to try Before you chanced your loving heart I hadn't learned to cry Before I learned you loved me And I new I loved you too Before my heart was broken Which I never though you'd do Before I learned that I could live Without you here for me Before I moved on from you For we'd lost it all you see Before I missed your friendship After months of so much more Before I learned the worth of it When I was hurt and sore Before I managed to stay calm When I ran into you Before I worried afterwards Had I done what I should do Before tonight I glimpsed there What we had before the end I hope that we can rebuild that For I love you as a friend. ~~ Justine Lescrocort
