The first and only time<\/p>\n
I sat through a musical, was for you\u2014<\/p>\n
and then, I heard that song, in that scene,<\/p>\n
and knew you\u2019d have loved it, too\u2026<\/p>\n
As I re-round to listen, so many times\u2014<\/p>\n
my chin began to crumble\u2014<\/p>\n
and my eyes immediately soaked<\/p>\n
in the biggest tears\u2014<\/p>\n
tears so heavy and so hot\u2014<\/p>\n
that they cannot stay<\/p>\n
inside the wells<\/p>\n
and just slide straight down<\/p>\n
melting tracks<\/p>\n
against the cheek<\/p>\n
and awash the neck<\/p>\n
if only to prove<\/p>\n
how much\u2014<\/p>\n
I love you.<\/p>\n
