How can I say it?

What would express my

love for you?

A kiss on the cheek?

A kiss on your forehead?

I will be kind to you forever 

I will be attentive and loving

How can I show my affection?

How will you know the depth

of my love for you?

Will respect and humility do?

Will a hot meal and tea express?

If nothing else conveys my

love for you, I will be lost.

If nothing else expresses how

very much I love you,

perhaps I'll sing you a song 

and give you a rose.

I will be your rose and pluck 

out the thorns.

I will build a house out of petals.

A single rose is my offering 

today.

I hope it reminds you of how 

very much I love you.

I hope it's softness and purity 

reminds you of me.

I give you my heart and a single 

rose.....or

perhaps a bouquet filled with 

roses and my breath which

whispers my love.
