I want to love you beyond words
The words in my head that send me through roller coasters of emotion
When you are not around
Beyond the confused and misconstrued
The who, what, where, when, and whys of fuddled conversation
The highs and lows
The high-pitched tones of syllables broken down with explanation
The connotation and subtle abbreviation of what we mean to me
Beyond the goodbyes and the hi’s
The fall and the rise of inflatable heart-shaped affections
Beyond promises, pinky swears, and muted expectations
Beyond the whispered soliloquies
The metaphors and the similes
I want to love you beyond the noise
The voiceless words that fall on deaf ears
Ears pained from lies and disappointment derived from experience past
I want to capitalize on the silence
Absent of verbal expression
When all it takes is a look or simple gesture to convey just what you mean to me
I want to love you beyond I love you…
