if five words are all i have

If there comes a time when
My mouth can't do its job,
My words get tangled in a single breath,
Or my tongue stumbles
Over the most basic phrases,

If all I could utter is just
Five words a day,
I'd spend one muttering your name
And save the other four to tell you:
"I love you, always."
