have you ever met someone
and had something inside you
whisper softly
"forever"
?

i did when i met you

and as our eyes met
i felt it in your stare
"forever"

as we talked for hours
every night
the voice got louder
"forever"

and every new thing
i learn about me
makes it clearer,
"forever"

i feel silly knowing that i
barely
know you
but i know
this is
"forever"

and everytime you laugh
it makes me want to smile
forever

everytime i notice
how perfectly alike we are
it makes me want to tell you
"forever"

but i don't want to be presumptuous
(i don't want to be wrong)
i don't want to scare you
(i don't want you gone)

i know i have
forever
with you
to make declarations, like
"forever"
and i know your heart says
"forever" too
and its beautiful
the way we just fell together
like an accidental puzzle
and its amazing
that automatic connection
we had with eachother

the voices in my heart are getting
louder
and now they are screaming at me
"forever"
and i'm so excited
i'm so nervous
i'm so thrilled

i can't wait
to be in your arms
and whisper softly into the night air

"forever"
