HOW CAN I...

How can I tell you
the intensity of my love
How can I show you
that you are like an angel from above

Like air is to breathe
and sun is to grow
your heart
is all I know.

How can I convey
you are my dream
What do I say
to show you what I mean?

I love you
I need you
I live you
I want you.

Shout it out loud
or whisper it softly
Writing it down now
or typing it swiftly.

Every way I know
of how strong I feel
Anyway I can show
that this is indeed real.

It would take an eternity
to even attempt to begin
Only a lifetime of certainty
to show my love that lies within.

A love so strong
so powerful and consuming
A love that bonds
two people into devotion.

A devotion so extreme
beyond anyone's understanding
That if asked of me
my life I'd give for the taking.

You've held my heart
& yet you know of just a fraction
Of the love you have sought
has always been here with undying emotion.

My love, my life
open your beautiful eyes
See my love in your sight
and know its here unconditionalized.

The love I hold
will continue to grow
As I have always been told
never let the "one" go.

So I stand before you here
with words that are so true
With a soft gentle tear
to say I love you.
