When You Say You Love Me

When You Say You Love Me
By Josh Groban

Like the sound of silence calling
I hear your voice and suddenly I'm falling
Lost in a dream
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting
You say those words, my heart stops beating
I wonder what it means
What could it be that comes over me
At times I can't move
At times I can't hardly breathe

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

You're the one I've always thought of
I don't know how but I feel sheltered in your love
You're where I belong
And when you're with me if I close my eyes
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time
Somewhere between
The heavens and earth I'm frozen in time
Oh when you say those words

When you say you love me
The world goes still so still inside
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

And this journey that we're on
How far we've come and I
Celebrate every moment
When you say you love me
That's all you have to say
I'll always feel this way

When you say you love me
The world goes still so still inside and
when you say you love me In that moment, I know why I'm alive

When you say you love me
When you say you love me
Do you know how I love you?


Dearest HeartKeeper,

I dedicate this song to you and to our love. This is how I feel whenever you say you love me. Though we can't be together at all times, I just want you to know that you are always in my heart. But I can't always have you in my mind. If I told you that you were the one I always thought of, then I would be lying. Because no person can keep someone in his/her thoughts all the time. We all have our problems to think about too. I don't know if I have ever crossed your mind. I know you have your family and your friends to think about. But me? Well, all I know is that you should put your family first before anyone else.

Though I haven't made any great contributions to the book of your life, I'm still hoping that you would never forget me in the case that I would have to go away. I feel that that day is soon to come. We would have to go our separate ways. We would not be able to see each other for so long a time. Although I have a fear that you might fall in love with somebody else once I'm gone, I still trust you with my life. But if ever that happened, then may God forgive me for what I might do. I will not hurt you nor your new lover, but I would gladly pierce my heart with a knife to end all the suffering. But... I trust you enough to even let you guide me through a maze of death and never fear that you would abandon me to save your own life.

Our love is forbidden. As we venture through this cruel world, there will always be hindrances around every corner. There will always be people who are against us being together, people who would do anything to separate us. But no. We will never let that happen. Together, I know we can defeat these hindrances hand-in-hand because we have our loving God to guide us through every step of the way. I know that He has blessed me with you, and you with me. I am confident that you are the one that God has fated for me. I know our love will last 'til the end of time as long as we remain faithful to each other, and faithful to God.

My dear, I have loved you then, I still love you now, and I will continue on loving you 'til my last breath.

Love,
OceanMist

POST UPDATE (APRIL 3, 2010):

I can't believe I was this obsessed with him. I just can't believe it! Remind me to never put anymore dedications on any of my posts AGAIN!
