When You Speak My Name

Your voice, the velvet 
Earth shattering voice, 
I hear when I listen to you, 
breaks my coldest winter 
and brings forth a sun beam again. 
I wait, hoping for a second 
that I can hear you calling. 
"Jesse" 
my body, stricken with chills, 
as I turn and look, 
at those beautiful eyes, 
red wine lips, 
and raven hair, 
I call back, 
"yes?" 
My mind boiling 
with anticipation on what 
I will hear next, 
quaking with endless thought, 
I finally hear, 
"I love you" 
my mind becomes awash 
with ways to respond, 
my strength wanes, 
and my eyes water, 
as I finally find the words, 
"I...I love you too,"
