When I Tell You I Love You

Surucipe

When I tell you I love you,

Know that it’s true.

Be aware that I’m mindful,

Of the power these words possess,

The potency behind all they stand for,

The unlimited potential for life that they breathe,

The richness and warmth that they can spread,

To a mind fatigued by isolation,

To a body plagued with solitude,

I don’t utter the expression with haste,

But sheer certainty of its warrant.

When I tell you I love you,

Know that it’s true.

 

When I tell you I love you,

Know that you are the only,

The sole recipient of these words,

For I am not liberal when I speak them,

But save them only for those worthy,

As they come from the very depths of my soul,

Places no ordinary person can reach.

If I offer them to you,

You are the only one who hears them,

And my trust in you concerns no boundaries.

When I tell you I love you,

Know that you are the only.

 

When I tell you I love you,

Know that you are the reason.

The reason I wake each morning,

Why I sleep smiling each night,

You’re the air I breathe,

The cause behind the fullness of my heart,

Responsible for the impassioned intensity it now beats with,

As it can barely hold the desire I have for you,

Desire that wants to break free,

That wants you and you alone,

For me and me only.

When I tell you I love you,

Know that you are the reason.
