47 Words

i never want to stop learning you 
i hope i never get you down to a science 
some days i am an engineer 
i check your structure for flaws 
and find none 
i find myself marveling 
at your architecture with my hands 
tracing the curves  
perfect, planned, and finite. 
i did not make you what you are 
you are a cathedral  
built for me alone  
to pray at. 
i never knew god until 
you touching me; 
me touching you. 
i am nearly fluent in you 
i use words, 
combinations of words 
i form them 
into sentences that i had never spoken 
until i learned your correct diction. 
the language of you quickly became 
the language of us, 
it is only you and i 
with this particular dialect 
our words put together  
with effortless cohesion  
form phrases so beautiful 
i cannot tell if they are being  
spoken or sang. 
sometimes your love letters 
are written in sheet music or maybe 
thats how they seem to me. 
everything about you reminds me 
of a symphony. 
it has been suggested to take my time 
so i have. 
loving you is not a four year degree 
in fact 
there is no definite end.or goal. 
i am a life time student 
at your discretion, my dear. 
as long as i continue to learn, 
i am yours. 
today i learned  
there are a minimum of 47 words 
synonymous with love.
i am positive i will need more 
in order to continue loving youk
