When I say I love you,
I say it from the depth of my heart,
Not from the surface of my lips.
And show it everyday,
Not just on a specific day.
When I say I love you,
I remember the first time I met you,
Arguing with the man over the counter,
Your audacity attracted me to you,
You sounded angry yet,
Your face was as still as water.
When I say I love you,
I develop cold feets,
Because sometimes love is not enough,
And I’m always afraid,
That I might disappoint you.
When I say I love you,
I always want to hear you say it too,
From the depth of your heart,
Thinking of how we began our love journey,
And earnestly holding on to your love for me.
