poem ~ my heart says

My heart says I love you
and I know it to be true,
For I've connected to you in a way
like nobody else has been able to do.

My heart says I love you
for you hear me through and through, 
It's part of the reason
that I want to know more about you.

My heart says I love you
for the way you just get me,
Even when I don't express myself
in a way I want to be free.

My heart says I love you 
for the words you say to me,
Because one of my love languages 
is affirmations in thoughts shared by thee.

My heart says I love you 
for all the ways you let me know,
That I really am important 
in your world that's not a show.

My heart says I love you 
and I want you to see,
The impact that you've made
is significant in me.

My heart says I love you 
and I'll always be glad,
For the way you've touched my life
and given me freedom I didn't have.
