Security

I see it in the way you tease me,

Your eyes bright with joy.

I feel it in the way you hold me

Not letting me go, even when we fight.

I hear it when you speak to me,

Trying to understand my logic,

Even when it is not right.

My heart, my body, my mind,

All knowing the feelings that exist,

Even though the words have yet to leave your lips

The words that mean the most

The words I see, feel, and hear

The words you WILL one day say to me.

The words

I. Love. You.

And when you finally release those words from your lips

I will not doubt it, because I know they are true

Not because you speak them,

But because you show me every day exactly how you feel.
