When you said, "I LOVE YOU"

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
