Words

Words are just that...
Mere words.
The words do not yet exist
That can capture the depths of my feelings for you.
Or perhaps they do
And I just have not found them.
'Everything'
Does not do justice to my love.
'My all'
Does not say that I live and breathe for you.
'The love of my life'
Cannot show you how
My very heart beats for you.
I hear your name in every pulse.
My very blood calls for you,
As it crashes through my veins.
Each and every breath that I take
Exists only so I can say I love you
Over and over again.
With all my skill…
With all my eloquence…
I still cannot say it to you
In a way that would express it truly.
Perhaps you see it in my eyes.
I do not know.
But I long for you to feel in my touch
What my lips cannot convey.
