Dec 2018
I love you ...
With every thought that resides in my overthinking mind
With every beat that races against my anxious heart
With every tear that falls insignificant amongst my waves of sadness
But I also love you ...
With every smile that visits my face
With every song that I sing
With every moment of silence that I spend gazing upon you
I love you in my lows -
When I choose to pull down the curtains and pull up my covers
I love you in my highs -
When I dance around my kitchen alone to the echoing sounds of your voice in my head
I love you in my weakness;
It's when I feel your arms picking me up
I love you in my strength;
It's when I hear you clapping in the distance
I love you when I'm afraid;
It's when I feel you enveloping my being
I love you when I'm brave;
It's when you tell me "I told you so"
I love you when all the words of love choose to die away
I love you when I'm digging up graves to express
I love you when love silences me
And as I'm sitting here looking back at you, staring into your mesmerising yet confused eyes I realise ... there must be more to you that I haven't loved yet
It is not enough
Or so you've said ...
Sincerely, Em
