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,"
