Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition
You asked me if I loved you
And three words weren't quite enough
For it isn't just one thing
That makes my love for you too much
There is no reason for one to love so immensely
So I guess you will never know
For how is one meant to express a depth of gratitude
That may never be known
For love is not the words we speak
It's the ones we can't quite convey
It's in the daily actions of our lives
And all of the ways that one cannot say
That is my love to you
The unspoken words that are written on my heart
The ones that are printed there forever
The ones that will never tear us apart
