Another Word for Love
We breathe the word so frequently
I hope it ever resonates
like bells in my cathedral heart
whenever our feelings wed.
I've mentioned
treasure
,
cherish, doting
,
fond
,
admire
, and
desire
,
prize
,
adore
,
amour
, and more,
but what can mean as much as
love
?
The thesaurus lends no advice.
Inventive terms might well suffice,
until we use all those up, too.
Perhaps I won't state
I love you
.
Instead, I'd show it every day.
My actions speak.
Hear what they say.
