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
