Count To Three

Count To Three

Today I was thinking about

how much I love it when you call me "sweetie" or "babe"

and the tears came

I let them

without stopping them for once

for you...

because I knew that you would want me to try

to allow the feelings

It hurt, 

so I gave myself 3 seconds

1...2...3...

I worry about telling you

how much I love those terms of endearment

because

What if you were to take them away?

And I cried

3...2...1...

I knew that even if you were far way
and I could no longer see you, or touch you,

I could hear those words

reverberating from my soul

to yours

forever...
