I Love You

I love you

And I wanted to–

To say it and mean it

To write it and frame it.

I have to love you

I will always do

To love you

To submerge my tongue on those words

And drown my ears as I hear what I say.

I won’t forget to love you

Because the feeling seems so right

I won’t get used to it

Nor say I’m bored to love you again and again

Because

This is my favorite feeling.

I will choose to love you

Because they say it is a choice

Then if it is

I will always choose this

To love and give it

To say, to feel it.

These words may be the most mainstream words to say

But I’ll say it anyway–

I love you.
