I Love You

I love you meekly, in the shadows of false illusions... I love you enough to read you every night, like my favorite book I want to read you, line after line, letter by letter, space by space...I want you to hold your hand under the firmament and show you the I love you hidden among the stars...I love you on the autumn leaves, talking about nothing but at the same time everything and in a mad start drinking your tears while I faint on your lips...I want you to look for you among the unspoken phrases, among the buried thoughts, among the complicated ways I want to find you and then not leave you...I love you enough to take you to my favorite places and tell you that is where I sit to look for you in the fog of looks that are not yours but I still look for you.

Hello Ms Darlene ,,The honest truth is that whether you can admit it to yourself or not, you are not capable of loving – not the way the other person needs to be loved. We should only allow ourselves to settle for one sort of love. The sort of love that is all-consuming, intoxicating, passionate and, at the same time calm, collected, caring and supportive. thank you for your feedback I’m just a romantic person
