A Matter Of Arithmetic

There are countless ways to say I love you.
In languages, tongues I don't speak.
I can say I love you with loud proclamation,
or whispers in your ear.
I can say I love you through a text or call.
I can say I love you through words on a page.
I can say I love you, time and again.

But my actions must prove.
My deeds be true.
My efforts for you.
Little gestures of kindness and time.
And doing what I say.
Following through.

Actions, plus words.
Multiplied.
