Love In Words (Before You Go)

I wrote this for two of my best friends, who got married to each other this past June. :]

Before you go,

Let everything I wanted to say

Flow into you through my lips

Because neither my voice

Nor my hand, could ever suffice

 

I feel you here, my darling

I know part of you stayed with me

Your heart will forever remain part of me

You are never truly gone

 

I miss you more than I could ever tell you

Ironic, isn’t it?

That even I can’t find the words to express

How much I love you

 

Poets have attempted, artists have failed

Love is simply inexpressible

With the means of mankind

Our fallen, ignorant nature

 

So, then, I am at a loss

What am I to do?

I have nothing, nothing at all

Nothing, nothing but you

 

Quite simply, I suppose this must do:

You are the love of my life

And I hope I keep you forever

Because eternity is how long I will need

Before I’m able to write love in words.

Author's Note

A poem I dug up recently. I polished it a bit, and I kind of like it. :) It's kind of random, though, so I might work on it a some more.

I completely agree, Your words are written beautifully and the concept behind loving someone so much that even literature and all its power cannnot describe was just breath taking great job
