Your touch across the skin on my face,
Your smile as you whispered 'love' oh so softly in my ear,
Your laugh as you tickled me and enjoyed the giggle from my lips.
It all reminds me I was loved.
I am only alive because you loved me.
I'm only here because you kept me wanting to come back.
And I'm only in love - because you made love real.
I saw it in the ring you handed me;
Ducktaped together but fixed with a kiss.
I love you - because you were able to love me.
Before I knew I could be loved.
Author notes
Long-lost love of mine. He was something special, but things just kinda faded. It was nothing dramatic and tearful - we just decided we were better as friends because of our schedules and all that good stuff. But he loved me, and I felt special.
