There was something so perfect

I remember the first night you told me you loved me

There was something so perfect

And from then on, every time you told me you loved me, I fell a little more in love with you

Because something about the tenderness in your voice, the grace upon your lips and the amount of love that backed those words made me believe you 

They were perfect words

Coming from a perfect you

A perfect you who was perfect for me

I felt as though your "I" meant only you. 

Your "love" meant endless.

And your "you" meant forever. 

And when you put them together like that, it was the perfect melody. 

The one song my heart longed to hear.

The one tune that made her skip a beat.

The one tone that made me glow. 

The one masterpiece built just for me.

The one echo that still rings in my head and stings my heart. 

I will always wonder if you knew what my "I Love You" sounded like..

And if you knew that when I said "I," I meant my heart. 

When I said "love," I meant all of it.

And when I said "you," I meant my person. 

There was something so perfect in the way you said,"I love you." 

I knew you meant it.

And it was so easy to tell you because it was so naturally perfect for you. 

It was like you were always meant to be in my heart, so saying those words were automatically yours. 

There was something so perfect about how you broke my heart.

It was like you knew exactly how to do it. 

Because you knew it so so well. 

So as I sit here, still as heart broken as could be, I think about those perfect words.

There was something so perfect.

They fit perfectly into my heart. 

Only to be cut out, ever so perfectly.
