I Want To Say— I Love You

You may judge me wrong and look me down
And think of me as the worst in town
Telling me I need to slow down.
But I'll still tell you the same thing:
I love you.

You may spread spiteful rumors and lies
Making ev'ry move of mine cumbersome...
Thinking my feelings will fade— My feelings will die;
But how funny it is and how awesome
It is to know, to say, to feel that:
I love you.

You may hurt your soul with your ignorance,
And engulf me to never get a single chance.
You may make my entire living laborious;
Thinking and knowing I'll never be courageous.
But still I want to say:
I love you.

You may write me in history because I have no talent.
Because you see my life doing nothing but to descent.
And yes I know I am nothing but a loser—
But the world must see that a loser can be a lover,
Girl, Please can I show you that:
I love you.

I am ready to dwell with you forever,
For I always dream of a life we live together.
I am ready to install 'LOVE' in your heart;
You just need to tell me when to start.
Yes I am ready to show you that:
I love you.

I love you with the love that sinned Adam in Eden;
A love coveted by the angels of heaven.
I love you with the love of Romeo and Juliet;
A love coveted by the rainbow color violet.

I say— I love you with a love coveted from above,
A love that is way more than love.
I love you with a love more than that of trolls and doves,
A love that is way more than true love.
A love way more than perfection —
A love way more than affection...

I love you in a way that I am unable to say;
Unable to say:
'I love you.'
