I Couldn't Love You More

Dear One:

I couldn’t love you more
If I had known you since your first 30 seconds on the planet.
I did.

I couldn’t love you more
If you were my own flesh and blood.
You are.

I couldn’t love you more
If I had watched you grow through every age.
I did.

I couldn’t love you more
If I laid awake at night with you as you fell asleep.
I did.

I couldn’t love you more
If we played together in the sand at a beach cabin in the summer heat.
We did.

I couldn’t love you more
If we wrote books together and made movies.
We did.

I couldn’t love you more
If you were the most beautiful woman on earth or the most brilliant.
Aren’t you?

I couldn’t love you more
If you and I climbed the highest mountain together and survived.
We survived other things.

I couldn’t love you more
If I thought of you each day when I look upon the lake.
I do.

I couldn’t love you more, because you are you
The woman/child of my dreams
The blessed soul of my heart.

I couldn’t love you more, because I do
Forever and always love you more.


L’Chaim,
Joceile
