How Do I Say.

How do I say I love you for the umpteenth time
 how can I tell you how much you mean to me,
I said forever and always,till death do us part
 said what you do to me,what you are to me,

After years of being side by side I miss you when we're apart
 after we argue I still want to call out your name,
the hardest of times,even the highest mountains we ever climbed
  I still get butter flies when I look in your eyes,

I wrote you poems ,letters drew you pictures left you notes
  signing them all with x's and o's, 
said this was are song,our place, our life
I held you,kissed you,loved you with the deepest intent,

to say your essential to me sounds programed
  how do I say I love you with out it sounding old,
to show you how years later I long to hold you in my arms
 I long to kiss your soft lips how do I tell you what all this meant,

A word that is used so much fills like it means so little
 I love you doesn't say with out you I couldn't be 
but how do I say I love you when your my world
 I love you...can it be just that easy?
