That's My Love for You

I can't sum up my love for you in a paragraph or poem or song

I can't recreate the picture in my mind of us being together again

The chills up my spine I get everytime I relive our embrace are just words on a page

and no matter how much I highlight, bold or italisize.... The result is the same and falls short of what you deserve


So I crumble up paper after paper littering the floor with my failed attempts at telling how I feel

Scribbiling out words too weak, too shallow, too arbitrary to describe your wonderful

Scraping the deepest crevises of my heart searching for a kind of perfection that I can offer to you...

Nothing is enough... I just love you.

I love you like my lungs love to breathe, like my heart loves to beat like my eyes love to see

I love you like its all I know how to do

I love you like a bird loves her nest, like a fish loves the sea like the stars love the night

I love you like you're home

Like the hands on God's watch, like the beauty of the angels like the universe rolls into heaven above

I love you like i'll never stop

I just love you with my whole heart and its as simple as that.... As pure I know how to express... As much as God has allowed me to give to another

That's my love for you

My gift

It's a precious gift wrapped in all your favorite colors... But it’s not yours to open
So you pick it up, you shake it and imagine what incredible secrets lay deep inside
Day dreaming of the endless possibilities if it was your name on the card, wishing, praying
Wondering why you couldn't have been sent such a beautiful gift
Why you don't deserve wonders and sweet happiness for yourself

It's the perfect line that just doesn't fit in your life's poem
The exhale releasing all your tension and anxiety
It's the warmth you always wanted but you're scorching already
The cool breeze you prayed to God for but it’s freezing right now
It's a precious gift wrapped in everything you've ever wanted... But you turn and walk away because
It's already hidden deep inside your pocket :)
