If I Actually Told You I Love You
I would.
Just telling you I love you seems
some times like less than it should.
If I said, "I apple you," that could
mean you're tart.
And if I uttered, "I study you," that could
mean you're smart.
If I told you, "I candy you," that could
mean you're sweet.
And if I said, "I snack you," that could
mean you're a treat.
If I whispered, "I cotton you," that could
mean you're tender.
If I mentioned, "I thin you," that could
mean you're slender.
If I uttered, "I party you," that could
mean you're a lot of fun.
But if I told you, "I love you," that would
mean I know that you're the only one.
