oh, did i say i loved her

oh,

did i say i loved her

i don’t quite remember

when she came into my life

it must have been that day

when i thought i was the sun

for her light was so intense

she brightened all that i was

where there was darkness

it fled

and i bled

naught but thoughts of goodness

whenever she crossed my mind

which was not often

because she was always on it

i think of the possibilities

of what lies on the road before me

and her

and the Stars begin to glisten

in the middle of the day

lighting my way

that my dreams

are seen

and i am redeemed

for she is all i ever needed

she speaks words to me

that move me

syllable by syllable

vowel by vowel

and her consonants

are constantly inspiring me

to want more of her

all of her

to taste her

hold her

kiss her

and i miss her

even when she

is right by my side

oh,

did i say i loved her
