in every language
there's an "i"
a "love"
and a "you"

in french it's "je t'aime"
in spanish it's "te amo"

but the day
you said
"i love you"
it wasn't spoken in english
neither french nor spanish

it was spoken in the way
you kissed my lips afterwards
and in the way
you entwined our fingers
on cold, winter days
and in the way
you broke the ice
by saying a cheesy pick-up line
you knew
would make
me laugh

you spoke not with words,
but with actions
and that's all
i could ever ask for
