"I Love You"

Today,

We shared "I love you"

With our words,

Though, our eyes have been saying it for a while now.

It's slipped out a few times,

You joke I should come with a Caution sign-

I've whispered it to you as you've slept,

Followed by kissing your head.

Tears ran down your beautiful face,

As your smile grew,

And you told me that you've been wanting to say it forever...

I have too, my love.

That nobody has told you it first,

And how it is entirely a feeling you've never had before with anyone else,

How we are "different"

Because we in fact, are different. 

We say it probably a hundred times,

As we kiss,

And share tears of joy,

Deep gazes,

And hands on faces-

I could revel in this moment for eternity.

I fucking love you.

I would scream it from every mountain top,

Tell every passing stranger,

Carve it into every tree-

My love,

I absolutely do love you.

There is not a doubt in my mind,

You are my person-

And I, yours.

You suggest we get married,

Sooner than later,

Start our family,

But of course - travel the world first. 

It's a rush of bliss,

I agree-

Holy fuck,

We are really doing this.

I love you with every fiber of my being,

Every breath in my lungs,

Every drop of blood that runs through my veins,

With every heart beat,

And every passing moment. 

I love you like the sun loves the moon,

Like the shore loves the ocean,

Like the fireflies love the night-

My beautiful woman,

I can't say it enough.

I love you,

And will,

Until we turn to dust-

And even then,

My soul will find yours again and again,

To love you from start to finish.
