PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If you have people in life whom you love…I suggest you find a way….

to tell them that you love them…a little…every day.

There are a myriad of ways to say ‘I love you’…

whether you love a him…or her

But, for me, two ways stand out above the rest

these are the two ways I prefer.

The first is in a love letter…

although I am partial to the French word billet-doux

It’s when I sit down and take the time to write of my love for you.

Because when I write you a love letter…

once you receive my billet-doux

I hope, like my love, you will keep it forever…and it will grow old with you.

And every time you run across it…

you’ll smile

you’ll feel a fresh surprise…

as you read the words I’ve written…meant only for your eyes.

The second way I prefer to say ‘I love you’ is to whisper the words in your ear

when the two of us are so close together…only you, alone, can hear.

For the magic of that whisper is how it travels directly to your heart… 

and then…

all you have to do is close your eyes…

to hear my words again.

So here’s hoping you’ll be doubly blessed today…

to give and receive the words I love you…

loud and clear

either in the form of a billet-doux…

or whispered in an ear.
