I LOVE YOU
By: Charles Wayne
If I said "I love you" once
I said it a thousand times or more
I said it without comprehension or meaning
I said it without thought or feeling
I wish I had said it once, with awareness
I wish I could say it once, again
I wish I could say it a thousand times more
I wish I wish I had more days to say
I love you
I never understood love's vast frontier
Until I no longer could feel you near
Until you no longer were here to hear
Until I hungered to have you appear
