"I Love You"

Sometimes words escape me;
And this is one of those times.
How can I let you know this?
Perhaps in the following lines.

What I want to say is, "I love you."
But, that hardly seems enough.
Trying to get the meaning across;
Seems to be so very tough.

These words are said so often;
And so easily by some.
But, to me they mean so very much;
You will always be, my only one.

You're the one I live for;
You make me face each day anew.
I know that I can do anything;
As long as I have you.

"I love you " is only three little words;
Three simple words it seems.
But, I guess it's all in the delivery;
As to how much this sentence means.

Know that when I say, "I love you."
It makes my loving heart sing.
These words come from the depths of my soul;
Because you are my everything!
