Stay

I have never had to say it... the word, that now is pushing at the seams of my closed lips but I find myself wanting to I have never needed to say it.... the word that has the ability to cut me down at the knees but I find myself wanting to I have never thought to say it.... the word that begs to be meant whenever it is spoken but I find myself wanting to I have never had to say it... that one word... the one... that takes away, in an instant, all the dependence I have on myself but... as always... I find myself wanting to I have never needed to say it I never...guessed I would...say it I.. should probably stop saying never. because that was before you before I fell off the cliff of a beautiful free-fall, right into a pool of eternity with you before I felt the warmth of knowing that there is a special place for me, with you before I could imagine the world as a sphere of untapped boundless potential... and you I have never needed to say it. before you but tonight as you pull your hands away, letting the cotton of your embrace slip of my reach I stare into you letting the wells of my soul speak for me in a language that was made for you and I have never had to say it but I do. Stay.
