THE “LOVE” WORD

 

Love,

Is just a word

Such a small word

Often misused

A throw away word

Used as a panacea,

To paper over the cracks

Tell someone “I love you”

And everything is expected

To be forgiven

But love

Is too small a word

For what I feel

Far too small

For what I want to express

As the love I feel

Is immeasurable, infinite

In its depth, its quality

It’s all-encompassing nature

It colours everything

All I say, all I do

Yet to express my feelings

All I can say is

“I love you”

It’s just so inadequate,

For what I want to express

My need for you

Of never being parted from you

To be joined forever

In every way

But I don’t have the word

To articulate it

I don’t have the vocabulary

I just have

Love
