To Love Her

She spent the afternoon reading
Old love letters he’d wrote
Pages threaded with history
Like the pearls she wore round her throat
She was covered in memories
And cursive I love you’s
Holiday roses goodnight kisses
And long distant love blues

He took her hand and then he took his time
All the while his heart was so inclined inclined

To love her to hold her over and over till the sun goes out in the sky
To make known his intentions have their own definition of
Love love love love love

She remembered it was the first time
She’d felt butterflies
There must have been tens of thousands
They filled the whole sterling sky
He’d made her feel like a wild flower
He pulled up from the earth
He slipped her down into a vase of water
Just to show her what she was worth

He took her hand and then he took his time
All the while his heart was so inclined inclined

To love her to hold her over and over till the sun goes out in the sky
To make known his intentions have their own definition of
Love love love love love

In her walk in closet
Sitting cross legged on the floor
Reliving history where she keeps stashed
Inside her heart and her stalking drawer
It’s a hand written romance novel
It’s a sunny afternoon
It’s a church hymn that keeps them singing
Halleluiah I love you…

He loves her he holds her over and over till the sun goes out in the sky
He’s made known his intentions they have their own definition of
Love love love love love
He loves her he holds her over and over till the sun goes out in the sky
He’s made known his intentions they have their own definition of
Love love love love love

She spent the afternoon reading old love letters
Love Love Love
Love Love Love
Love Love Love
