How Do I... ?

OCEAN

How do I find the way, the perfect way, to even start explaining my love for you?
How do I make you feel what my heart feels when I feel you close to me.
Your nearness awakens feelings that I did not know even existed.
Your love transports me to Heaven... a heaven of love... a heaven of passion
a heaven filled by your wonderful existence and your love for me.

You found the way to put my broken heart together, gluing it back piece by piece with every kiss, every caress, every touch of your gentle hand.
Together lost in an arduous embrace, unwrapping each other's souls from all pain, we threw the past away.
Now we are two new souls, cleansed of all those things that would darken our paths
We walk hand in hand, loving, dreaming, trusting as our love grows with each passing day.

But oh how I wish I could find the ideal way to say I love you in the most special way.
How do I find a way to speak to your heart in a way you have never been spoken to but that you can understand.
Saying "I love you" is no longer the strongest declaration of my feelings for you. I keep searching deep within my heart for a new way to say it because you mean more than everything to me.

My love for you is not satisfied by repeating the same words that all lovers say to each other every day.
I need to reinvent a new language of love just for the two of us.
A new language that will raise the "I love you" higher than the sky til it touches heaven where we will be sheltered by God's grace.

But how do I even start to compose this new glorious language of love for just the two of us?
I will have to search among the heavens above and speak to the angels.
I will have to travel deep in your heart and mine and gather every beautiful emotion I can find.
I will have to think like a child to get the genuine purity and unselfishness kind of love.
I will have to look into a mother's heart to find that kind of undying love.
I will have to just think of you and I.

Maybe there is no need for words for you to know how I feel.
All you need to do is see how you take my breath away every time you look into my eyes.
How my body trembles with the slightest touch of your hand.
How my heart doesn't know if it should beat faster or just stop when you tell me that you love me.
And how I cry every time you make love to me.

So how do I even start to tell you that I love you in the most special way?
Just place your hand on my heart and you will know.
