I Meant Forever

Watching her as she sits there painting
I'm wondering what she's thinking of
when she smiles, in thought 
 or who she might be hating.
When she laughs to herself 
with nothing being said,
then she looks to me 
without hesitating,
She whispers how much,
she loves me.
She waits to hear
what I'll say in reply
before turning back to
her painting.
When I tell her I love her
she squints her eyes,
bites her bottom lip
then asks me if, it's forever.
I'll be here for you,
when you're hurt, when you
laugh or have something in
your eye or when you just want
to cry.
When I said that, I
love you that day
what I meant is forever.
That's when she knows how much
I really love her.
