It is a common need in life That people like to hear Occasionally the words "I love you" Whispered in their ear.. Although those words are beautiful I'd rather hear, instead You tell me that you know I love you When it's time for bed. It's easy to get sidetracked in The bustle of the day And little things to show one's love Can get lost on the way. Kind words can take a backseat to The bills that must be paid And pressures from one's daily life Leave loving undisplayed... For those times when I feel that I haven't followed through To be the lover that you need Although I live for you, When nighttime falls, just touch my cheek Then kiss me tenderly And smile and say "I know you love me" That's enough for me. I want so much for you to know Emotions that I feel And help you understand how much My love for you is real But sometimes words get in the way And I cannot express The strength of what I feel inside In loving openness... For those times when the day has drained me Tired as I can get And I feel that attention paid you Is inadequate Just reach and touch your lips to mine And hold me next to you Then smile and say "I know you love me"... I'll say, "Yes, I do." |

Sweet, and different.  Yes, I think I'd say it over and over again, just to hear that "Yes, I do."To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

This is fantastic, Balladeer. No flowery sentiments contrived to woo the heart but matter-of-fact sincerity is what you do impart. Any bride, yes any wife would surely be glad to receive such a wonderful greeting as this. I'm so happy I didn't miss this one. It renews my hope that guys can truly feel and say how they feel. Well done! |

'Deer love, this is just as it should be, utterly wonderful, but then I know as well as I know here is the place to find magic, that a poem written by you will be extra special. Outstandingly excellent even by your standards, and yes I love it as always. Absolutely first class, in everything, form style grace, and it's poetry. I love it Take care love as always Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

And in recognizing that need in you to know that your love is recognized even when not stated, she's saying those 3 words beautifully. *S* This is great, Deer one! |

Balladeer, you always have the most unique way of approaching a poem. This is superb. Thanks for it. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

This poem is so appropriate, with the busy pace of the world now . I'm sure your loved one knows you love her, there could be no doubt, the beautiful poems you write for her. Sandra |

Balladeer, You are so talented in writing.. I love the way you can make me laugh hysterically with some of your writings and make me sigh with others. I'm glad I stopped in  [This message has been edited by rosepetals25 (edited 02-17-2001).] |

I love what you said here. And of course the way you said it. I need to think about it, I think there is something I need to learn here. |

Hi Balladeer....... Very smooth writing there!!!.. Sure would make a great song.....(hint hint) Simple sentiment, well said. Want me to give it a try? It must be wonderful to have words flow down your arm and onto paper like melted butter.<<<< You even almost made me cry at the end. That last line was so unexpected, but yet.. what else could it have said? (smile) |
