Hearing you say that
Forbidden word,
That was meant for
Years later,
Is something I cannot ignore.
And I know you think
That my ears were clouded
By misfortune and
An evening fight,
But I heard it.
And recalling that
It had escaped your lips,
Is enough to make me
Swim seas and
Scale city buildings,
To tell you
That it is all
I ever wanted to
Hear.
