I Love You So.... by Marianne Richmond

I love you

How much?

SO Much

How much is 'so'

WAY, WAY more than you know.....

I love you as brilliant

as each sparkling star,

and as way out as space,

I love you that far

I love you as gigantic

as a great lion's roar,

and as deep as the ocean,

I love you much more.

That is a lot, you say

but how did it start?

Where did love come from

to be in your heart?

You put it there, really,

when you and I met.

And I knew for certain

without you I'd fret.

From my head to my toes,

I was feeling inside

a devotion for you

so deep and so wide.

And now it's enormous

and wonderfully real

and hard to describe

how much I feel.

I love you as awesome

as a thundery sky,

and as soaring as mountains

I love you that high.

I love you as silly

as a puppy dog's kiss

and as quiet as midnight

I love you like this.

Do you love me every day

you ask with doubting awe,

or does love go up 'n down

like teetering see-saw?

I love you as steady

as the earth rounds the sun,

though some days of life

are farthest from fun.

Like when you feel mad

you ask with distress,

cause I've broken the rules

or made a big mess?

Or when I'm unkind

and your feelings are blue,

do you love me although

I do what I do?

I love you being nice,

and when you're cranky, too.

I love you without liking

the naughty things you do.

My 'love you' doesn't change

like the temper of the days.

It's a certain kind of thing

in many different ways.

You're my sweetie,my dear,

my smile and laughter.

you're my playmate for always

and my joy ever after.

Hanging out with you

is where I want to be...

eating ice cream sundaes

or watching the TV.

Under your umbrella,

behind you on a bike.

By you and beside you

is what I really like.

Do you love me just as much

when I'm far away from home?

Is your loving still the same

in distant lands I roam?

I love you near or fare.

I love you high or low.

My love is there with you

Wherever you may go.

Even when I'm sick...

and I can't get out of bed?

Do you love me better healthy

than with fever in my head?

I love you sick or able.

You're always you to me,

the one I love forevermore.

Undeniably.

I can't imagine life

before you came along...

me there singing senseless,

no meaning to my song.

Call it meant to be

or simple blessed fate,

you filled my heart with love...

and for that I celebrate.

I love you

How much?

So much.

How much is 'so'?

Way, way more than you know.
