When you said "I love you"

When you said, "I love you,"
I went over the moon.
My heart sang its glory,
The stars sang in tune.

As when with a word
God brought forth light,
So with these words,
You ended my night.

So with these words,
You made something new:
A bond of devotion
Between me and you.

How powerful words,
To shape who we are.
We ponder in silence;
Our words cross a bar.

Your words crossed a threshold,
And entered the past.
Yet they have created,
A world that will last.
