I Love You

I love you
Yes, I know the word is overused
But love?
Amazing true love
That takes you to a new place
Above the clouds
In the middle of and yet
Far away from the teeming crowds
From the push and the jostle
Of everyday living
To a world where everything
Runs on giving

I love you
Yes, I love the way
You hold out your heart
In a trembling hand
And treat everyone with kindness
Making this world a better place
I love you better than
Dark chocolate
Or red wine
Or poetry that rhymes
I love you
Have I said it too many times?
