I Love You In Quiet Gratitude
I love you that is all I suddenly know
It is all I suddenly feel deep within
Three simple words said in many ways
Those words in some last for eternity
In others, a fleeting momentary thing
In some, words to gain power and control
Or as a means to de-flower the budding rose
Words that bring hope, happiness or tears
That takes the human heart to a high plain
That builds and builds like an overflowing dam
Reaching a crescendo of overwhelming love
Or passion and lust that sends one hurtling into space
Words that can also shatter into a million pieces
Piece by piece to be united or just thrown away
In forgotten dreams or memories once sweet
Poets with endless words convey the agony and the joy
Others write music so sweet to invade all the senses
With rapturous words and a never forgotten melody
These three words that so describe the feelings of my heart
I love you, you have awakened the hidden core within
Our paths may never cross again, but know this
I love you!
