Language of Love


Je t'aime

Ich liebe dich

Jag älskar dig

"I love you"

Is what pours from your lips like honey

That calms my breathing when the world has closed completely in on me 

"I love you"

Is what you say when you extend your arms

For me to collapse in when the day hasn't been very kind

"I love you"

Is what I hear when you apologize first

Because lately it just seems like I have been chasing

Chasing a person that I can call home

And a home is what I have found in you

"I love you"

This euphoric love that gives me hope that a new day will surely come

This enchanted love that strengthens a self love that I never knew I had

This heavenly love that shouts from the rooftops empowerment that's meant for my ears only

And with all of these ways to say "I love you":

Je t'aime

Ich liebe dich

Jag älskar dig

The way that you say these three words is what I love the most

And for that I want to say

I love you!
