I Love You

I love you more than the moments
That are yet to come
I love you more than the memories
That have come and gone

I love you with a waiting heart
That beats deep in the chest
I love you when you take me there
And then bring me back again

I love you in the distance
And the closeness that is you
I love you in the beginning minute
And the second that it's through

I love you more than the air I breath
If that's not too cliche 
I love you for what I have 
And what I've had to give away

I love you in the silence
And I love you in the sound
I love you in the here and now
And wherever we are bound

I love you like the night
Opens up into the day
I loved you at first sight
More than I can say

The love you hold in your heart is self evident within the heart of your message of love. Your feelings come through strong, and straight from the heart, where most good poetry is given root to grow. Emile.
