I Love You More than "Love"

         It is impossible to capture in words
the feelings I have for you.
They are the strongest feelings that I
have ever had about anything.
Yet, when I try to tell you them
or try to write them to you,
the words do not even begin to touch
the depths of my feelings.
And though I cannot explain the essence of
these phenomenal feelings,
I can tell you what I feel like when I am with you.
When I am with you it is as if
   I were a bird flying freely in the clear blue sky.
When I am with you it is as if
   I were a flower opening up my petals of life.
When I am with you it is as if
   I were the waves of the ocean crashing strongly
      against the shore.
When I am with you it is as if
   I were the rainbow after the storm,
      proudly showing my colors.
When I am with you it is as if
   everything that is beautiful surrounds us.
This is just a very small part of how wonderful I feel
   when I am with you.
Maybe the word "love" was invented to explain
the deep, all-encompassing feelings that I have for you,
but somehow it is not strong enough.
But since it is the best word that there is,
let me tell you a thousand times,
I love you more than "love."
