When You Said, "I Love You"

When you said, "I love you," I went over the moon. My heart sang its glory, The stars sang in tune. As when with a word God brought forth light, So with these words You ended my night. So with these words You made something new: A bond of devotion Between me and you. How powerful words To shape who we are! We ponder in silence; Our words cross a bar. Your words crossed a threshold And entered the past, Yet they have created A world that will last.
