PS I Love You.

I love you more than the stars in the sky

I love you more than the rain in the summer

more than the sunlight which trickles through my curtains in mid winter

I love you more than the flowers which grow wild

and more than the yellow butterfly I once caught

but then let go because it was too beautiful to hold captive

and I wanted to share that beauty with the world.

I love you more than the river I once jumped in and the clear water

that splashed on my face and made me feel like I was washing away the past.

I love you more than the greenery of the grass and the redness of roses

and the browness of the oak that grows behind my house.

I love you more than the sound of the birds in the morning

and the crickets which chirp late at night.

I love you more than the wind which blows away my fears 

and the rain which drowns my tears 

and the sun which warms my heart 

and the moon which gives me hope

and the stars which guide me home.

I love you more than all these things combined.

My heart has always belonged to the wild 

and these are what make up my existence

These are what give me purpose

and prove to me that life is worth living.

These are my reasons to wake up in the morning

and fall asleep at night.

And if you have managed to capture my soul and free my heart 

to the point where I love you more than nature and its miracles

then I must say that 

you have claimed every part of me 

because truly I never thought it was possible to love anything or anyone

more than I did the feeling of freshly cut grass against my bare feet

but you have proven me wrong.
