I Love You

I love you.
Three simple words.
At some point in time,
i'm sure we've all heard.
Sometimes, it gets old.
We just hear it a lot.
So, here's what it means,
in case you forgot.
I is me.
Myself. The one who's speaking.
The one who is always
of you thinking.
You will come later.
Let's not jump ahead.
For the moment,
let's talk about I instead.
I think about you all the time.
I dream of you at night.
Without you, my life just
wouldn't be right!
Okay, enough of I!
I want to get to you-
But, there's another word
before I do.
Love.
How to explain...
It has such a deep meaning,
yet the word's so plain.
Here, let's go slow.
We'll break the word up.
We'll take all four letters,
step-by-step.
L is for laughter.
The medicine of the heart.
It makes it strong
so it won't fall apart.
I think that's important,
don't you?
Well, now let's move on
to letter two.
O is for open.
Such a wonderful word!
You can open a cage,
to free a wild bird.
When you open your soul,
you let in wonderful things.
Now for the explanation
letter three brings.
V is for vast.
The ocean, the sky.
The distance someone special makes you
fell you could fly.
We're just about done,
only one more.
Last but not least,
letter four.
E is for eternity.
Forever and ever!
As long as time lasts;
as long as we're together.
Oh! I see we've finished!
Now, for the best part...
Word number three, YOU!
...Oh, where to start?...
You are...
Amazing?
No...
You are more...
On this word,
I'll try harder than before!
You are...
Crazy.
Insane.
I always smile when I hear your name.
You are...
Spectacular.
Phenominal.
The way you look at me's just undescribable!
You are...
My sunshine.
My heart's Keeper.
Ever day, my attraction to you grows deeper.
You are...
Caring.
Funny.
You hold me in the rainstorms, somehow make them all sunny.
You are...
Talented.
One-of-a-kind.
The one I want to be with the rest of my life.
You are...
You.
Crazy- Insane- Spectacular- Phenominal- Sunshine- Heart- Keeper- Caring- Funny- Talented- One- Of- A- Kind- YOU!
YOU.
There's only one YOU.
Okay, now that i've taken up
so much of your time.
With my lengthy descrptions, yes,
that rhymed,
I think I should end with-
it won't take long
-a summary of what i've been trying to
say all along...

...I love you
