Because you said you love me
my heart raced to the truth
flashes of a life fulfilled
old after our youth
visions of passionate laughter
and private moments shared
small things made momentous
secrets and tears
overwhelmed in the presence of your love
and that mine is right behind
sparks not only in my heart but racing through my mind
exploding in the knowing of all the precious time
hazy visions of a long life
it doesn’t matter where
but because you said you love me
I am there.

For Robert because he said he loved me
