Can we say “I love you”
all over again?
In a way that captures
all we want to say?
For between you and I
there is so much to say
that words are unaccustomed to.
For there is laughter,
and tears.
For there is raising sons,
yet not forgetting you and I.
For there are mornings of coffee
and evenings with books.
For there are both bike rides,
and tea.
For there is friendship and passion,
rolled into the same.
For there is you
and I.
So can we say
“I love you”
all over again?
Yes, we shall.
But we know
all that is left unspoken
all that is too deep to say
between your heart
and mine.
