I love you

I love you
it's truth
3 simple words
all for you
spoken in secret
like a quiet hush in a sanctuary

I love you
can't help myself
my heart
yours for the taking
even the breaking

It's worth the wound
the festering, poisonous,
gaping wound
that you might leave me with
when you take my heart away
and deny me yours

I love you
It's that simple
can't deny
won't lie
just flow into what it means

Love is you and I
entwined
rewind the past
and come back to me
regret is still savored
for my love
though lost on you
still sweet
ever present
ever lasting
I am yours
you are mine
for this moment

I love you still
