Sometimes, when I am all alone with my thoughts <br />I will suddenly look inside myself, and find nothing. <br />But then the smell of your hair or the sound of your voice <br />would rise up from the depths of my being <br />and fill me so completely that I am left numb. <br />What I am feeling is so deep, so complicated, so fantastic <br />That the mere word 'love' seems insufficient to describe it. <br />I am awestruck, <br />I am manic, <br />I am mortally terrified. <br /> <br />I think of you constantly and every instant that goes by <br />I miss you more, <br />I love you more. <br />At night I hear your name being called by the crickets, <br />I see you face among the stars. <br />By day I hate every woman for reminding me of you, <br />and I love every woman for reminding me of you. <br />Without you there is nothing, <br />the sun won't have to rise, <br />the rivers can stop flowing, <br />the birds could stop singing, <br />and I would not know the difference. <br /> <br />I love you, <br />today more than yesterday, <br />now more than a moment ago. <br />By the time, time itself came into existence, <br />I was already in love with you for eons, <br />and when eternity runs to an end <br />I will still love you. <br />Without compromise, <br />without lapse, <br />without deceit, <br />without regret, <br />but with <br />Passion, ambition, commitment, <br />loyalty, generosity, compassion <br />and in complete surrender. <br />This is the way I will love you forever. <br />Everyday and every night, forever.<br /><br />Dewald Viljoen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-unsent-letter/
