Love Poem: Mute Speech

Mute Speech

She can speak to him 
Without making a sound
There are three little words
That catch in her throat
But he hears every note
Of her love song

Her shy little grin
The first time they met
Was all that was needed
For him to forget
Any and all
That were his before

This, their story, the chosen two
What he wants, it's still not quite time
The belt on her hips protects innocence
She has taken a vow to still possess when she weds
She has faced temptation before, so,
She is sure she can face it again. . . And win.

Does this story go on?
Or is the ending abrupt?
When he said "I will love you forever."
Did he really mean it?
Or were they just
WORDS?
