Love is not something you say,
Love is something you do;
So every day I will give to you
my heart remade brand new.
Every day I will kiss you
just like I did the first time.
Every day I will look at you
through fresh new eyes and stare
in wonder and awe that you are here.
Every day I will ask you to be with me,
To hold my hand, to laugh, to just be.
Every day I will do my best to be me,
the me you fell in love with
So that every day when we say I love you
It will be true.

Every day I will do my best to be me,
the me you fell in love with
So that every day when we say I love you

Hello, Allison ~
I liked your poem in All Things Girl and will post it in my blog. Your poetry is lovely, language you can grip and sink your teeth into, often with incisive, painful, clarity.
