More Than Words

You told me you are not good with words

That you could not tell me how much you love me

That you could not frame the right words for me

In the absence of words, your heart speaks

In those few words you utter

In those little acts you show me

Your love cannot be contained with anything

And baby, I love you for that

I love you when you smile at me

You glow like a sunshine

That promises hope and happiness.

I love you when you stare at me

Your stares penetrate to the deepest of my heart

It tells me things only my heart could fathom.

I love you when you hold my hand

The strength of your grip

Tells me not to let you go.

I love you when you hug me close

The gentle touch caresses my soul

And gives me the assurance

Of not being left behind and alone.

I love you when you sing songs to me

It is as if you sing the words

That your mouth cannot directly tell me

Above all these things,

There is one thing that makes my heart melt

I love you when you say those words

I could feel your heart

In that stare

In that smile

As you say, “I love you.”

I love you, baby

More than these words can let you know

And I will never get tired of loving you
