Again

Again?

I’ll say it again

I will say it a million times over

I will say it till you believe it

I will say it till you fall asleep

I will say it again, even if just because

You like the way the words sound in my voice

I will say it again

And again

And again

Until I can sleep

Until I know that you believe it

Until I am sure you understand the gravity of it

Until I am sure you understand

Just how much I mean it

Again?

I feel it again, too

A warmth

A million miniature stars

Blooming and budding and exploding

Maybe it’s just the simplicity of it

Again

Again

Again

Maybe it’s just the simple fact that it was you

Sleepy, unguarded

Or maybe it was that fact that

I had been wanting this, too

Been wanting an excuse

An opportunity

To repeat it

Over and over and over

Again and again

Until maybe, just maybe

I could truly express just how true it is

Again?

Yes. 

Again

And again.

You don't even have to ask

I will just say it

And i will feel it

And i will show it, too

In all the little trinkets and gifts

The lingering hugs

The time we get to spend

together

on those blue beanbag chairs

In every good morning, goodnight

Little yellow hearts

In every phone call

And email and text

Again

Again

Again

Every day

And one day, our little house

On a little port

Will be full of little reminders

And yes,

I will say it again
