"Listen Sweetheart"
Listen sweetheart, there’s something I need to tell you
Because my heart beats for you, it’s true
Being with you is like pure bliss
You heal my open wounds with a kiss
And I wonder how you take my pain away
And I wonder why I haven’t had time to say
Those three words
To those baby blue eyes of yours
That are the color of a blue jay
I don’t possess a voice
Yet you gave me a choice
To either leave or stay
And you get me thinking about that song by K.Flay
Called “Time for you”
Even when I made you feel so blue
You never broke my heart
Or maybe you were afraid to see us part
But if you were to leave
I would try not to grieve
Instead, I would grab something sharp
And carve something like a harp
Into my own beating heart
And it would be my best work of art
Then I would begin to play a song
And wait until you came along
You would begin to dance
To the song of romance
Of you and I
Listen sweetheart, there’s something I need to say
So please don’t tell me to lock myself away
Because I can’t hold it in much longer
None of us are getting any younger
I made a vow
So I might as well say it now
I know these baby green eyes may not seem wise
They are similar to the color of skies
I just need you to…
Listen sweetheart.
Because I’m only going to say it once.
Those three words
(breathes heavily)
“I love you.”
