When I Say I Love You

When I say I love you, 
dear I mean it. 
Gone are the days I used to 
play with it. 

You alone I long to solely have. 
I don't care if that they call greed. 
Without you I  am just a half 
in processing, yet to complete. 

Could I have ever imagined a love so sweet? 
Should I myself awaken from this love sleep? 

A love in both deeds and words, 
I'll never dare to loose. 
A love that always gives the best, 
all will hasten to choose. 

The paddle to the canoe, sure you got it 
so when I say I love you, dear I mean it.

A powerful love poem. Very passionate. The words flow like a stream in a silent night. Lovely choice of expression..simple and crisp.
