• Too many times I have tried to portray my feelings for you,

    No attempt can seem to capture and reflect each incandescent hue,

    For how can mere poetry or speech hold such feelings as these?

    Every time I open my mouth to speak, I cannot find words with ease,

    The complexity of how you take my breath away,

    How even from the slightest word you say,

    Butterflies crowd my stomach and my heart skips a beat,

    Scattered are my thoughts and this is why I can only repeat,

    That I love you so much, if only you knew,

    Just how much I mean it when I say that it's true.

    Yet each time we talk speech evades me still,

    Your voice, it gives me a rush, a secret thrill,

    If only my voice would not ruin the flow of your speech,

    I wish to listen to you for forever, an end we would not reach,

    I'm in love, this feeling wells up inside my soul for you,

    Close to spilling over, threatening to overflow, I know that it's true,

    Even as I write this, my heart is pounding way too fast,

    Our time together seems so short, it doesn't seem to last,

    My soul aches to have you close to me,

    But wishing for things does not make them be,

    Oh how I miss you, I can't even begin to tell you,

    I could try to explain, but then it wouldn't be true,

    Because nothing I could ever write, or say, or do,

    Would express all of the love that I have for you,

    My heart is not here, for you are it's keeper,

    This love does not lessen, it only grows deeper,

    I'd give everything I have for your happiness,

    My life I lay down for yours if anything were amiss,

    I love you so very much, and that's all I really know,

    Thoughts of you fill my head, and never do they go,

    I'm addicted, completely out of control,

    I love you, with all my heart and soul.
