What do you say
To the girl you love
When "I love you" just doesn't seem like enough?
Do you jump to the skies and the mountains above
To the welling waters and the oceans embrace
How the never ending sea kisses the sands in wavy embraces
Old myths of four armed and legged beasts
Powerful enough to tear the world asunder
Split into two's, for the gods feared their power?
I heard stories of them from long ago
Given a mighty name: Soulmates
Perhaps, you recite bible verses of love, forgiveness, and sins
What if we jump to the unconditional loves?
Oh, maybe you recite poetic lines of Romeo and Juliet
Imagine disabilities of Traynor and Clark
When the words Me Before You became the norm
Tell her you'll have infinities in moments
Like The Fault In Our Stars
Maybe, you tell her everyday without her
You're just another lost soul


There's always the possiblity
I have this all wrong
That the most I can say is in the silence between us
In fragile moments
When our lips interlock
And, the sun catches her eyes in a flavor of a minute
Or, the times she's smiling to herself lost in the line of a book
In the moment where she takes the first bite of icecream
After a day that left both of your feet sore
It's really hard and even a little soul tearing
That I cannot seem to find an accurate description in words
Of how I truly feel, because it all is not enough

So, I will just say this
I will be at my 10
Until the sun burns out
Or the Sea's tide overcomes us
When California becomes The Bay of Arizona
And Yellowstone has finally had it's time with us
For, I am in love
Maybe, it's just as simple as that
Annie, I'm not sure my words will ever be enough, but I suppose you'll be the judge of that.
