I love you

And I don't just say that
like it's something normal
I love you a lot

I love you like the warmth
from a candle
I love you more than a sky
filled with stars
I love you more than a song
that whispers your secrets
I love you more than
time could ever age

I love you more than each step
to a destination,
each breath
to the last

I love you from the endless sea
to the forever earth

I love you
and sometimes the words
"I" and
"love" and
"you" are too short and
simple to mean
infinitely everything
