When you ask me if I love you,
And I smile and look away.
It’s not because my heart isn’t true,
I love you more than words can say.
I love you beyond reason.
I adore your eyes, your contagious smile,
Your boundless grace, every hour, every season
Making my wretched existence worthwhile.
“Of course I love you,” I articulate the feeling
My heart understands without words.
The question that never needs asking,
Answered by emotions screaming to be heard.
