I Meant Forever

Watching her as she sits there painting I'm wondering what she's thinking of when she smiles, in thought or who she might be hating. When she laughs to herself with nothing being said, then she looks to me without hesitating, She whispers how much, she loves me. She waits to hear what I'll say in reply before turning back to her painting. When I tell her I love her she squints her eyes, bites her bottom lip then asks me if, it's forever. I'll be here for you, when you're hurt, when you laugh or have something in your eye or when you just want to cry. When I said that, I love you that day what I meant is forever. That's when she knows how much I really love her.
