HOW DO I SAY, "I LOVE YOU"?

I'm saying, "I love you"
When I say,
"That dress looks
Nice on you today."

I'm saying, "I love you"
When I say,
"I hope your pain
Is less today."

I'm saying, "I love you"
When I see you in the rain
And bring an open umbrella
To you again!

I'm saying, "I love you"
When I stand beside you
And watch you sleep,
While a sentinel I keep.

I'm saying, "I love you"
When I enter your 'girl-room'
And quietly stay beside you
Wondering if you'll awaken soon.

I'm saying, "I love you"
When I say, "Hello there,
I like that special
Little curl in your hair."

I'm saying, "I love you"
When your orgasm of joy
Delivers to me
Our girl and our boy!
I'm saying , "I love you"
When I enter your room,
Smell your perfume
And say, "Aah, I love you."

I'm saying, "I love you"
When I see your DNA
In our very first child
Asleep in your arms today!

I'm saying, "I love you",
And always will,
As long as both
Of us shall live.

I'm saying, "I love you"
When I just stand still
And day-dream about
The woman in my will.

I'm saying, "I love you"
When you're standing by the phone,
Scantily clad with
Just the radio on.

I'm saying. "I love you"
Both now and forever,
In sunshine days,
And in stormy weather!

I'm saying, "I love you"
More now than before,
When your dress size
Is larger than your wedding gown!
I know that the stanza above
Does not even rhyme,
Yet I love you
In spite of time!
I will go on loving you,
As long as time shall be,
And will love you even more
When you're in Heaven with me!

I'm not through with
Saying, "I love you",
My lover and friend,
Yet this poem must end!
But before I do,
Allow me to say again,
"Helen, Dear, I love you."
