Love is too imprecise a word.
“I love you” I would follow you like a hound into hell if you didn’t forbid it, and even then, i would want to walk beside you anyways
“I love you” I want you to come home to me. I want to keep your home warm with food on the stove that you can eat.
“I love you” I will hold you when sorrow finds you
“I love you” I want to be held
“I love you” I hunger for you like an animal; isn’t it funny how carnal has two meanings?
“I love you” I have heard you laugh and it sounds the way sunlight feels
“I love you” I want to keep you with me.
“I love you” If you are hurt I will tend to your injuries and kill what injured you.
“I love you” come watch the stars with me
“I love you” I’m making this for you so you won’t feel the winter’s chill.
“I love you” I want to kiss you wearing sticky lipgloss to make it your problem too.
“I love you” I would grieve with you.
“I love you” I wrote down your favorites so I wouldn’t forget them
“I love you” I know you.
[edit: I know this is a love poem, but please do not comment “<3” or leave heart emojis on this post. thank you in advance!]
“He is my person. No matter how many moons and suns separate us, no matter how many lovers and friends pass through our hearts, our souls will always recognize each other.”
