"I Love You So...." by Marianne Richmond
I love you
How much?
SO much
How much is 'so'?
WAY, WAY MORE than you know
I love you as brilliant as each sparkling star
and as WAY OUT as space
I love you THAT far
I love you as GIGANTIC
as a great lion's roar,
and as DEEP as the ocean
I love you MUCH more
That IS a lot, you say
but HOW did it start
WHERE did love come from
to be in your heart?
YOU put it there, really,
when you and I met
and I knew for certain
Without you I'd fret
From my head to my toes
I was feeling inside
a devotion for you
so deep and so wide
And now it's ENOURMOUS
and WONDERFULLY real
and hard to describe
HOW MUCH I feel!
I love you as AWESOME
as a thundery sky,
and as SOARING as mountains,
I love you that high,
I love you as SILLY
as a puppy dog's kiss
and as quiet as midnight
I love you like THIS
Do you love me EVERY day
you ask with doubting awe,
or does love go UP 'N DOWN
like a teetering see-saw?
I love you as STEADY as the earth rounds the sun,
though SOME days of life
are the FARTHEST from fun,
Like when you feel MAD
you ask with distress
cause I've broken the rules
or made a BIG mess?
Or, when I'm UNKIND
and your feelings are blue
do you love me although
I do what I do?
I love you being nice,
and when you're cranky, too
I LOVE YOU without liking
the naughty things you do
My 'love you' DOESN'T change
liek the temper of the days
It's a certain kind thing
in many different ways
You are my SWEETIE, my dear,
my SMILE and laughter,
You are my playmate for always
and my JOY ever after
Hanging out WITH YOU
is where I want to be....
eating ice cream sundae's
or watching TV
UNDER your umbrella,
behind you on a bike,
BY you and BESIDE you
is what I REALLY like,
Do you love me just AS MUCH
when I'm FAR away from home?
Is your loving still the same
in distant lands I roam?
I LOVE YOU NEAR OR FAR
I LOVE YOU HIGH OR LOW
My love is there with you
WHEREVER you may go.
Even when I'm sick
and I can't get out of bed?
Do you love me better healthy
than with a fever in my head?
I love you sick or able,
You're ALWAYS you to me,
the ONE I LOVE forevermore
Undeniably.
I CAN'T IMAGINE life
before YOU came along....
me there singing senseless
no meaning to my song.
Call it meant to be
or simply blessed fate
you FILL my heart with LOVE
and for THAT I celebrate.
I love you.
How much?
SO much.
How much is 'so'.
WAY, WAY MORE than you will ever know.
