TO SAY I LOVE YOU IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

To say I love you is an understatement.
To say I love you
is like saying that the clouds are white,
without saying that they are beautiful.
Like saying that a piece of obsidian is black,
without saying that it holds the depth of the night sky.
Like saying that a campfire is warm
without also saying that it crackles with magic.

There is a wind that soars across the earth,
running in a rush
to trail its fingers in the fur
of the next adventure.

I don't just love you:
I breathe for you
walk for you
talk for you
and live for you.

For me,
there is no me without you
just as there is no moon
without moonlight.

Considered "soars low"
Considered ending on "and die for you" as well as "and wait for you"
during the draft stage I had "wake for you" as the line after "breathe for you".
