She looked into his eyes as she heard him say
"I love you"
She had heard those words so many times before, but never with this much meaning
"I love you"
When tears stained her cheeks and harsh words stabbed her heart, he woud be the first to say
"I love you"
After hours of work and nightfall bringing with it even more, he energized her with
"I love you"
When the world turned its back, and no one else seemed to care, he always said
"I love you"
When they said it won't be long, just go on home, he was the only one to say
"I love you"
In her darkest hour with unbearable pain, she looked into his eyes as she heard him say
"I love you"
She whispered back "I love you too, Son"

Powerful write and straight from the heart.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

tried to write a letter
to tell you how I feel,
but all I kept on writing
was slipping on the tears from the day...
