and now we're
getting closer
and our love is
getting deeper (though I
didn't know that was possible).

now all I can do is
state intently when
he is near me. I
struggle to speak, I
only make a squeak,
it's embarrassing, but
worth his love.
I love him.

I
close my eyes
whenever he hugs me
I
kiss him goodnight
when he takes a nap in the morning
I
tell him I love him
whenever we part
as if it's the last time
the world will start again.

I love him like
there is no tomorrow
but what if there
really wasn't?
well, then,
I guess I better
love him harder
than I could ever manage
in another 24 hours
(well, not like that,
dirty-minded brats).
and I guess
I'll keep blushing
and my breath
will keep catching in my throat
and I'll kiss his cheeks
and stare at his golden hair
my golden boy
my golden butterfly
isn't flying in the air
he is my air
and I couldn't have
gotten this far
without him.

for that, I thank you, will.
