Read this,
Take every word in,
I love you,
It's not a sin.
Read this,
Absorb every letter,
It's only your fault,
My life seems better.
Read this,
Check twice,
Its because of you,
I'm no longer ice.
Read this,
The list grows long,
There's reasons I love you,
I cannot reason wrong.
Keep reading,
This won't be short,
There's too many words,
And not enough that I ought,
Tell you,
Breathe out,
Listen please,
I need to shout.
Read on,
Don't stop yet,
I was always at loss,
With the love bet.
But yet here you are,
And I can't complain,
With you there's no shadow,
No untruth, no shame.
Read more,
I beg you please,
This is a pardon,
Not a public see.
Private I would,
And will and can,
Just be prepared now,
Because holding back won't stand.
I want you so much,
I promise, this is no lie,
The seconds and minutes without you,
Let's say I'd rather die.
So hear me be a fool,
Hear me say this now,
There's so many ways to love you,
And not enough to show you how.
