Quite Simply,
for the "say it plainly" challenge
I love you.
There’s no other way to say it.
I love you.
A million other people,
Have said it a million other ways,
But all I can say is-
All I know how to say is-
All I want to say is-
I love you.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Shall I compare my feelings for you to a dream?
A rose?
A fire?
The sea?
I love you,
And that’s all there is to it.
I can build worlds from words,
Castles from consonants,
Valleys from vowels,
But one look from you
And they crumble into one breath,
three small words;
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.

This is absolutely lovely - such a rich take on the challenge, which adheres to the 'straightforward' requirement while still getting to the heart of a profound love. Wonderful work!
