The problem of the commonest love cliché



I love you. How can I make those words sound less banal,
this common phrase worn out by everyone most every day,
this formula turned shallow into water dried by verbal homeopathy,
a boring repetition meaning nothing by too much protesting,
overused especially by liars – but how can you else express it?
That's the question, and the answer will be difficult.
Perhaps the best way to express it is by not expressing it at all
but merely showing it, by deeds, by poems and by presents,
for example, while the truest love expression is within yourself,
you only know yourself the real truth of your love,
no one can feel your feelings and their worth and how they feel but you yourself;
but probably the finest way to give them some expression
as correct and true as possible is by creative art,
especially by poetry, which was constructed just for subtleties.
And if your loved one reads your poetry, accepts it as her own
and takes it to her heart, she will, if not at once,
by time at least and constantly more deeply understand it,
especially since that's the kind of love that lasts,
it can not burn out and it can not lie,
but it is there and live forever.
