Have  I  Told  You
Lately
That
I  Love  You  ?

Have  I  told  you  lately
just  how  much  I  love  you,
or how your gentle smile
can melt my heart ?
Have I mentioned
how your whispered words
can touch my very soul
and still warm me
in the moments we're apart ?

Have I told you how I'd feel
without your arms to hold me close,
or how empty life would seem
without you there,
Whether it's the times we spend
with family and friends,
or the "just ~us~two" together times
we share ?

Have I told you how I've watched
your restful face when you're asleep
and the tender fascination
that I feel ?
If I haven't told you lately,
it's because there are no words
to express a love
this close and deep and real.
L  Love  You  So  Much
