My Love For You

Just the purest of emotions.
Know that I am under love’s notion.
Just one simple thought.
In your spell I am caught.
Just to tell you that I do love you.
But words would never do.
It need not be so complicated.
For words seem so understated.
Because this is deeper, 
than the need to breathe in an out.
I have for you this love, 
that is with out question, with out doubt.
Stronger than the will to survive.
It’s this  need for you, this burning drive.
More than the need for my heart to beat,
Is the fire you’ve started, an intense heat.
And how could I ask my heart to do anything but love you.
For you see, it is the only thing it knows to do.
