You Love Me

You love me?
Truly, you do?
You said so,
And though my words wouldn't come,
I love you, too.
Under the stars
Of a fresh spring night,
You held me close,
You held me tight,
Your lips touched mine,
And all breathing ceased.
And the you leaned
Closer still,
And whispered those words
I've so longed to hear.
"I love you," you said.
Do you mean it, dear?
Do you truly love me?
My heart skipped a beat,
I couldn't speak...
There's a fire in my soul
That singes every word,
A light in your eyes
That blinds me to the world...
I love you, too,
My sweet darling,
I love you so.
