Feeling loved

Love is not heard...it's felt

Tell me that you love me

Why? You already know

I want to hear you say it

So it can bring you comfort?

Or something of the sort

 

Tell me that you love me

No, you already know

I need to hear you say it

It won’t make you feel it any more

You have no way of knowing

 

I won’t tell you that I love you

You must already know

It not something you hear

Or even understand

 

I tell you that I love you

In everything I do.

It’s not something that I say to you

No words could get across

 

You see it in my actions

The way I look at you

I won’t tell you that I love you

You can’t feel it through my words.

I love this! There's a real magic about your words.. a happiness of phrases .. not a misery in sight .. and okay, you need hear those magic words, but pretty sure you know they're there. Maybe, just maybe if he's read your wonderful poem and seen the picture .. (which sadly i can't see) he'll keep telling you those magic words over and over and over until youre sick of them!

Clever form used here, like the format, good use of italics .. thought i'd better say something about the actual writing not merely its emotions!

Emma :) you’re a real sweetheart, thank you ever so much! He always wants me to say my writing to him. That’s so much more nerve-racking. I will soon…when I muster up the courage.

i sometimes get into this mood

i believe love is in everything we do
and so little in what we say

if it needs to be said
then there is something wrong with the relationship
i agree with you 100 percent

[Reg Deneau]

Wonderful sentiments. I just am wondering why you changed the fonts in the last 3 stanzas?

Sorry I have not been more attentive these days, but I am quite involved with a few other things than my writing right now....

Thank you for sharing your good memories... oh yes... That sweet feeling of love can move us over the miles and the years... Nothing more beautiful than that!

[Mia]

No...thank you for reading :) I'm glad you did and thank you for the lovely review!

[DrD]

Mia, I don't know how I missed this work earlier but I found it intriguing in its concept and approach to a relationship so typical. I think everyone has heard those words and felt your response. But you return it to us with a unique style and formidable skill. I enjoyed this immensely.

[Mia]

Thank you Doc, I'm glad you enjoyed this. It's always a pleasure to have you by (so to speak).

[Sid]

Wow, I love this, specially the last two stanzas, there is truth and great wisdom in those words, smart man I must say. Words can be redundant in the face of actions and I agree with him...great work Mia!!

[Mia]

LOL! He'll be glad here that :) thank you so much for stopping by!

[Sid]

Haha good to know :)

[Mia]

While I personally enjoy being told I'm loved and it means something to me, I think it's incredible that HE realizes it is shown and confirmed through actions. Smart man. Wonderful little piece. Smooth and romantic. Nice Mia!

[Mia]

Thank you :)

[That_Girl]

You're welcome. :) Adorable photos by the way.

[Mia]

you're a keeper, I can tell :D

[That_Girl]

Hahaha thanks! I feel so special! :') lol

Oh Mia, This is a mixed bag to me. personally I believe in expression through words and actions. Neither alone! If someone has to ask then the message is NOT clear. actions do speak louder than words however words speak and words add colour to the expression of love and desire. Else we should all be deaf!

[Mia]

After reading lots of these reviews, I can see that I didn't get my point across...it was romantic and still is for me. I love how said words add colour to the expression of love and desire. That's beautiful! But words can also be empty or worse full of lies...actions rarely are. Thank you for stopping by, I always appreciate your comments :)

I agree with your words.
"I tell you that I love you
In everything I do."
Love is what we do for our number two. Words are important. Actions are very important. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

[Mia]

Thank you :)
I think the words are only important if they are backed up by the the actions.

[Southern Cross]

I suppose I'm just a woman but I do like to be told the 3 words knowing that actions speak louder ..Made me rethink the man's point of view though and a lovely write as always..tender and heartfelt

[Mia]

Thank you :D
It's nice to hear once in awhile...I agree! I want both...lol

[Ahmad Cox]

Beautiful and sweet
