She spoke:
Even in the dead center of the night,
When my face is in darkness and I cry
but cannot discover the reasons for my tears…
And he answered:
I will love you then…
She spoke:
Even when the weight of the world
falls heavy on my shoulders,
When I know better to suffer under such a burden,
But bear the load bent and stooped to the duress of my soul…
And he answered:
I will love you then…
She spoke:
Even when the words inside my head
don’t match those that stumble from my lips,
Lost thoughts and mismanaged sentences,
When those words sting and pierce
and are thrown carelessly at you…
And he answered:
I will love you then…
She spoke:
Even when my heart is broken and my vision clouded,
When my judgment is not fit to be considered,
When I am but a lost little girl
in the flesh of someone supposedly older and wiser,
When I cannot trust my legs to stand
but need your arms to prop me up,
When my soul is shaken by the countless fears inside me…
And he answered:
I will love you then…
She spoke:
Even when my weaknesses surpass my strengths,
When my doubts overrun my confidence,
When the neurons in my brain get scrambled
by the hormones in my body,
When the flesh you long to touch
begins to wear and tear,
When my cowardice holds me back,
When my suspicions go unwarranted,
When my failures outpace my successes,
When you find me in a corner,
And find me bruised,
And find the parts that need repair,
When you finally see through all my smoke,
Exposed for who I really am,
With nothing left to hide…
And he answered:
I will love you then…
She spoke in a whisper:
How?
But he could not answer,
For there are answers more mysterious than words,
Still,
Finally he said:
I will love you then
Because
I will love you forever
And always…
And she knew it to be true.
