Affirmation of Love

 

You love me.

 

I carry your declaration freely

 

Travel with it down dark hallways

 

Let it pull back shades in darkened rooms

 

Blind my mind with its pervading light

 

Expose all dust.

 

I place it on the nearest shelf

 

Within arms’ reach

 

To be taken down often and read aloud

 

Words that will linger long after the last page is turned.
