First Words of Love

On the tip of the tongue they stayed; The heart urging, and the soul swayed. The mouth’s lips held firm; The mind raced, looking for the term. I like you very much; Had seemed to lose its touch. Grasping, wanting, bursting for more; The heart, the soul began to roar. Louder and stronger, the need became; Knowing that each, was feeling the same. A hushed whisper at first, did they pass; Again, and again, they began to amass. Each time bolder, with more confidence; When finally, they came together, in perfect sense. Three small words filled with hope and joy; Didst fall from the tongue of this innocent boy. The words are strong but remain so few. My only, my beautiful, I Love You... 8/4/17
