I LOVE YOU MORE

 

I heard these words whispered in the bookstore yesterday…

words I’ve heard a thousand times before.

One person whispered, “I love you” the other smiled and whispered,

“I love you more.”

These words can bring a smile to one’s face…or tears of joy into one’s eyes….

For some reason, yesterday, I started wondering…just what this phrase implies….

When we respond , ‘I love you more’…I think these four words should…. 

Mean…I love you more…than I ever thought I could.

I love you more than rainbows…more than anyone I’ve ever met.

I love you more than chocolate…more than Romeo loved Juliet.

I love you more than life itself…more than vodka or champagne.

I love you more than bees love honey…or the flowers love the rain.

I love you more than ice cream…more than bluebirds love to fly.

I love you more than sunsets, pepperoni pizza…more than pizza or French fries.

I love you more than hiking in the mountain…or walks along the shore.

I love you more today…than I did the day before.

Yes, whenever I hear the words ‘I love you more’

shouted from across the room…or whispered soft and low…

I like to think what these words mean is….

I love you….more than you can ever know.
