Love Unspoken
by Anne Engelen<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
It wouldn't be right to say "I love you"
since no language contains efficient words
to express the way you make me feel.
If my love for you would be water,
then all the waters, covering the surface of the earth
brought together, would still be short of a drop.
Or fire?
It would be inextinguishable!
Would it be air,
then you'd be my breath of life! 09/02/2004 Posted on 09/02/2004

| Posted by Laura Doom on 09/05/04 at 03:09 PM NVC may be the most effective, if not efficient language for communicating these sentiments? However, this is most reassuring for the insecure :> |
| Posted by JD Clay on 09/05/04 at 03:52 PM Sheesh! talk about head-over-heels. When it comes to love, you've rewritten the book on falling. One can only hope this amatory celebration is autobiographical. Pe4ce... |

| Posted by Sarah Graves on 09/06/04 at 09:37 PM Anne, you seem to have such a strong grasp on what you think love to be, and how love feels.. that makes you very unique in this world. |
| Posted by Kenneth Lau on 09/07/04 at 06:50 PM So many ways just to say that love is beyond words...yours is quite beautiful. |
| Posted by Paganini Jones on 09/07/04 at 07:20 PM There must be a paying publisher for this one in the greeting-card market - I'd buy it for one. Superb |
