How do you say 'I love you'?
I want to say it
At the right moment
At the perfect time

I'm overwhelmed by the love I hold in my heart for you
But I am burdened by the fact that I wait
For an intricate perfect moment

I want it to be special
I want to be filled with an intense desire
To say it
I want it to be romantic

My darling, I can not say it too soon
I am afraid
To give you that piece of my heart
So many pieces have been broken before...

My darling
I adore you

But I want the three words to be uttered
In a sweet, serene moment of purity and innocence
I want to be so consumed by the intense love in my heart
I want it to be raw
I want it to be real
I want you to know that I love you in the purest way

My darling, I want it to be perfect
And my darling
I will wait for that moment
For now, I will allow this love to swell up in my heart
Until I
Am so overwhelmed
That I
Explode
With words
Spoken into
Sweet serene air
And doe eyes
That reflect
Our endearing love.

I will say it
I will say
*I love you.
