No Four Letter Word...

No simple four letter word can express what I feel
Tidal waves orf emotions, it's all surreal
When I'm in your arms I get a sense of dejavu
I adore the very essence of you

No simple four letter word can express my happiness
You fill this void in my chest princess
Beneath my breast bone your pretty face is in a frame
I never feel alone because my heart whispers your name

No simple four letter word is good enough 
To describe your body that was surely sculpted above
My desire is fire and I'm too far gone
I worship the very ground you walk on

This is a continuing yearning without pause,
And if I paused, what would be the cause????!!!!


*written strictly for Matt Caliri contest "I love you because"
I hope I read your rules correctly...enjoyed
