Love is Greater than Words

 

There are times when your heart can feel so full of love it feels as though it may burst.

You feel as though you are choking on words that you haven’t even coherently put together yet.

Your body feels as though it may explode from joy.

The absolute agony of containing a love this great becomes greater than the risk of the pain of rejection.

When an immense love like this is shared between two people and time passes you begin to realize that the English language can no longer suffice for expressing how you feel.

You think of new and creative loves to show your love and appreciation to this person that loves and accepts you just as you are but no matter how creative you get or how many new ways you find to say, ‘I Love You’ it never seems like enough.

There comes a time when saying, ‘I Love You’ sounds trite and not only because of how often the words leap from your mouth before you even realize it but because those three words don’t seem to encompass the magnitude and depth of what you feel.

Everyone should know this feeling; the feeling of being seen, appreciated, valued, and loved beyond measure.

Everyone should know the torment of finding that love and still feeling as though you are being held back by the limitations of your own imagination or language fluency.
