Saying I Love You

                                 I love you I said with a fluttering heart,

                                Knowing that these words might someday tear it apart.

                                At first I was afraid to give my love away,

                                But I knew it was something I just had to say.

                                Everything about this is all so new,

                                But it also helps to know that you love me too.

                                I know you say you know how I feel,

                                But I never knew this could be so real.

                                It's kind of scary to know that everything is true,

                                And it's also great to be in love with you.

                                Each day I fall in love with something new,

                                But most of all each day I fall more in love with you.

                                Before you, love was just a meaningless phrase,

                                But you have taught me what it feels like in so many ways.

                                You make me see how great I really am,

                                And I don't even know if that's your intent or plan.

                                You're my best friend and true love,

                                It's almost like you were sent from up above.

                                Your like an angel sent to lend me a helping hand,

                                And my happiness in return is all you demand.

                                My only wish is that I can be yours in return,

                                But I'm afraid that I might have a lot to learn.

                                Love has been said to bring out the best and the worst,

                                But I can only find out if I jump in head first.

                                Falling in love is not something I expected to do,       

                                But I am glad I fell for you.

                                You have taught me to love and taught me to give,

                                But most importantly you have taught me how to live.

                               So remember my words for as long as I live,

                                And my love to you I will continue to give.

                                It seems as though you help to bring out the best,

                                And help me to just overlook all the rest.

                                I hope that someday I can do the same for you,

                                But until then all I do is continue to be in love with you.
