i am disgraced by the fact that i used the words "i love you"
but i cannot think of any other set of words that is strong enough
to describe my deep affection for you

i love you
with my frail heart
and my battered soul
i know that..
i love you
for my heart leaps
at the sound of your voice
i love you
for my stomach swirls
at the warmth of your embrace
i love you
for my eyes swell
at the thought of losing you
i
love
you.
