When I say I
love you...
It does not
mean a box of chocolates, or long stem roses.
It does not
mean an heirloom ring, or sexy poses.
It is not
three words, carelessly strung together,
without
weight, like a feather.
Or exhaled
air formed into syllables, meaningless.
Sounds good
to the ears, but the heart, feeling less.
When I say I
love you...
It means I am concerned about your soul,
Not just certain traits, but your whole.
That I know
you will make mistakes,
I don't expect perfection.
That I will
bring mercy and grace to our covenant,
along with protection.
It means I
anticipate your needs
and move with admiration and emotion.
To remedy
your lack-of, desire-to, or emptiness,
with limitless devotion.
To say I
love you with just my words, is simply...insufficient.
