Those Words

“I love you”
Never says enough
It’s too cliche
Far too insufficient
Too brief
To encapsulate in entirety
How I feel for you
That is why I need
Tonal expressions of the voice
Eyes connecting
Touch
Oh so much I need to show with touch
The expansive palette of emotions
All for you
For ONLY you
And yet…
How I long for but a single word
From you…
Or three…
To hear you say again
“I love you”
Would pause my heartbeat
& ease my thirst
For more
Ever more
Of you
My Love

P.S. I love you
