as my world fell into darkness – v2

As my world fell into darkness,
I ventured outside, quickly,
to the corner of the driveway,
closest to you, Sweetheart…
 
I spoke into the ether,
across the time and space,
I repeated three times, “I love you”,
your name, aloud three times…
 
Each time I spoke these words,
an echo in my spirit, your words,
hearing your answer to me,
“I love you more…”
 
I spoke into the ether, night growing,
and you gifted me your answer,
as my world fell into darkness,
I felt held by your love…
