Do you hear me when I whisper good night? When I whisper it to you across the night, across the time?

I touch your cheek, I kiss your hair, I pull you close to tell you....to tell you I enjoy your company. Ahh, those simple little words, "I love you", get stuck in my throat, and I just smile. Wishing I could tell you forever and a day how much you mean to me, how I feel when you kiss me, how I feel when I kiss you, the way my body vibrates at a higher frequency when you're around.

That I want to wake up in your arms, that I want to spend my days as well as my nights with you, the one who makes me shine, the one who believes in me, the one who tells me the truth. A long road we walk, we walk it together, and those around us notice the thrill, the peace, the pure happiness that spills around us when we're together.

Oh, the heart that beats in your chest, it craves the tenderness I give so freely, and the heart that beats in mine, craves the warmth you radiate... if we would just listen a little deeper. I smile again, knowing that even without being said, you know what I mean, you know I love you.
