I don't know how I could tell you I love you, because everything -- every word, every phrase, will never be quite enough. Even the words themselves -- I love you -- seem small, despite how much emotion they may carry. I suppose I'll try my best to tell you, with the littlest words, the littlest phrases, all blended into one, just like a painting on a canvas. My love for you burns with the intensity of a thousand suns. This phrase in particular is about as close as it will get. Except... even this, with it's beautiful words and deep meaning, isn't enough. My love for you burns with the intensity of a billion suns, stars, lights, planets; shines brigher than all the electricity, all the light that is ever produced. I love you more than all the flowers in May; roses, sunflowers, dasies, tulips, and how they seem to be greeted by the sun and corrupt from underneath the moist, earthly soil. I love you more than the color of the sunset; blended shades of ravishing reds, outstanding oranges, and bright yellows, even some pinks and purples that appear as twilight comes near. I love you more than all the words in the whole world combined into one, huge mass of crumpled paper, dented words, and broken dreams. I love you more than the feel of the beach; of the miles and miles of ocean and moist sand; more than the foam that grips my toes or the cool feel of the water on my body; more than the sun as it smiles down upon my skin, and the way it makes me glow. When I tell you I love you, I do not lie, although it is still a complete understatement of what I truly feel inside. This feeling -- this burning desire to always be around you, for your hand to be entertwined with mine, for your arms to embrace me tightly; this feeling of being *high off of love* -- is a feeling that cannot possibly be described; no matter how hard one may try. What they say about love is true -- it can make you do crazy things. But no situation will ever seem crazy, because I have a valid reason: You. a.m.
