How Do I Love You

Tony36

In how many ways can I say I love you

The answer is three ways

I love you with all that I was

All that I am

All that I hope to be

I can not properly count the ways I love you

For there is no number high enough

That would satisfy my call

To try and place a number to such a love

Can never be

For this is a love like no other

This love reaches above all humanity

 

I really can’t tell how much I love you

This I however will say, for this much is true

I love you with a love much deeper than the deepest ocean

I love you with a love much wider than the widest river

I love you with all I have

I love you with all I know

To honestly explain this love of mine

Is like trying to explain life itself

It can not be done

For in truth my love far exceeds all human understanding

 

If I could tell you how I feel I would

I however tremble with just the mere thought of such a speech

I open my mouth, but there is no sound

For words elude me every time

This feeling is crazy to me

For if I love you I should just say so

I however can not

For there are no words worthy enough for such a speech

Words can not fully describe how much you mean to me

To try is worthless

For I would just sound foolish in the attempt

        Nice poem Tony! Two thumbs up.

        I wrote a poem of the same title, the same sentiment but was dedicated to my sweetheart, so probably not appropriate to share. LOL 🙂

          But this is how the last stanza goes

          These little worldly things -
          They all mean that I love you
          And I’ll show you how much I do the rest of my days
          You ask, why I love you
          There are a millions reasons why
          And let me tell you truly in a million different ways
