Only three words

Touch me once more to secure my dreams,
To keep me from receding into darkness.
Whisper sweetness in my ear to dry the tears,
As a mother reassures her lost-but-found child.
Let me hear my name pour over your lips,
Like a newborn mountain spring,
Allow these moments to asphyxiate your soul,
As deadly poison attacks vitality.
Release the strength to make us real,
And breathe that which unlocks forever.
I dare not see honesty in your face
Until your honor me with enduring words.
Say you love me.
