when I say I love you

when I say I love you
what I really mean is
I cannot live without you, because
I wake up thinking about you
I leave the house and
I am already looking forward to seeing
the day end
to go back and find you there waiting for me
 
when I'm not with you
I spend the day
thinking about you and
I would like to see you
I would like to talk to you
I would like to know what you are doing
without insecurity, just out of
pure love and a little bit of curiosity
to confirm that you are also
thinking about me

when I say I love you
what I really mean is
how wonderful it is to return to you
to be with you and to do with you
all the trivial things
even the exceptional ones
like to dream about you

when I say I love you, and
it is not as simple as it sounds
because what I really mean is
I cannot imagine the future
without you and when you
with the only possible
answer, the only acceptable one
under the circumstances
reply… I love you too
you make me the happiest man
of the world
then I smile with confidence
knowing that everything
is going well
 
when I say I love you
what I really mean is
love, my love
I cannot live without you
you mean everything to me
