The celebration ended <br />as we dragged ourselves to bed. <br />My heart is brimming over <br />with the words that he just said. <br /> <br />We were sleepily talking <br />as we so often do. <br />To no suprise he leaned over <br />and said ''I really love you''. <br /> <br />Of course this is the routine. <br />We always say ''Goodnight <br />I love you and sleep well'' <br />but he didn't stop there tonight. <br /> <br />He said he thought I saved him <br />from what he would have been. <br />He said he was so thankful <br />that I found him way back when. <br /> <br />I felt my heart would burst <br />from hearing such sweet love. <br />I've often felt that I'm the one <br />who owed my life above. <br /> <br />Of course I didn't save him. <br />His soul is way too pure. <br />The truth is I'm the lucky one <br />of this I know I'm sure<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-said-he-thought-i-saved-him-2/
