Single
Something happened
In that space between
The time I quit my day
And the time I began my night
Something spoken
In that space between
Turned everything I wished
Into everything I knew
Something heard
In that space between
Turned yesterday's grim and cold
Into today's thousand tiny rainbows
Three simple words
Not even rare ones
Spoken every day by billions
Served up like fast food
But this time
A simple declarative sentence
Subject, verb, object
Became a feast
I didn't realize
How hungry I was
Until it was set before me
Having been that way so long
Something happened
And my hunger is gone
But the table remains full
What to do but share?

The grammar and syntax, and let's not forget mechanics, of I love you. So much to consider. The reach of those words.
A powerful exploration of the enigmatic meanderings of that we chooose to call love! Beautiful appeal for the senses! I read this poem several times, enjoying its aura!
I love that you never actually said the words...this made the poem even more impactful, and brought home the fact that these three words, which have so much power, often remain unspoken. What a wonderful read!
Oh, I love this!
It touched my senses..
waking in to dreams
