Notes About The Poem

Gargantuan

My darling, the sheer size of my love for you? 
Gargantuan. There isn't enough space...
in my heart to contain it. 

Wholesale; the cost of just how much? 
Gargantuan. It's exceedingly expensive, you see; 
worth more than a billion!

The litany of moments and memories shared with you? 
Gargantuan. They're much too numerous...
to evaporate into nothingness.

The mountain I'd climb to pluck a star out of the sky for you? 
Gargantuan. And I'd climb much higher, my love; 
I'd reach heaven!

The dream that I'm dreaming, for you and me? 
Gargantuan. And I'd dream... 
forever and a day.

The sea that I'm sailing to meet you at the other end?  
Gargantuan. I've sailed much too far...
to turn back, so please, wait for me!
