It's You.

When the only words that can sum it all up are I love you; but he's not ready to hear them.

It's  12am and I'm sitting here emotions running high, 

Swirling inside my chest; like a current that just won't die. 

And I'm trying so damn hard not to tell you all I feel. 

I don't think you're ready for it all to be so real. 

I don't even know how to sum it all up, 

It's all threatening to burst out, like an overfilled cup. 

The words are jumbled, I can't think straight. 

Then I realize there are only three words that can describe how I feel 

It's as simple as I love you. 

It's as complicated as I love you. 

It's pounding hearts and soaring hopes. 

It's crashing waves and cracklings fires. 

It's all the beauty in the world stuffed in to my chest

It's looking at you and falling harder and harder each time. 

It's not being able to make this rhyme. 

It's your toffee skin and perfect smile. 

The way stories take you a while. 

It's a million things all trapped in one. 

It's the reason you are my sun. 

And you kiss my lips and it almost slips- I love you. 

Oh yes, yes I do.

As simple and complicated as I love you...Brilliant. Everything and more, so understand, but incomprehensible. It touches all senses and breathes life into us. All perfectly captured here. Thank you for sharing this with us.

"It's as simple as I love you.
It's as complicated as I love you. " - I dont think Ive ever read truer words than these on this site MT.
This is a wonderfully heartfelt piece with enough whimsy to make it not make it very serious.
Well penned my friend.
Long time no see - I hope your well?
