This is a letter to a lover, broken into individual lines. Heartfelt, yes. But to anyone but the lover it's YOUR emotion. What you want to do is say it in a way so pretty, or evocative, that the reader is moved to show it to their own love, along with, "I can't say how I feel as beautifully as this, but it's how I feel about you."
It's why people still send Shakespeare's sonnets to the one they love, but remembed the piece I wrote for about thirty seconds.
Our goal, and it's a b***h to achieve, is to make the reader say, "I wish I'd written that," not "Uh-huh." ;)

Thank you JayG, for reading and reviewing it... :-)
Nice. I really like the first two lines. Love is one of those eternal subjects that never gets old and we are always searching for new ways to describe it and express it.
