If you love something

let it go free
if it comes back
it was meant to be

Not enough...

An Artist can articulate beauty with the stroke of a brush.

Musicians can tug heart strings by the soft tunes that flow from an instrument.

Singers sing songs that can make your whole heart swell with emotion.

Actors can portray intimate parts of our lives on a screen ten times their size.

How then can we find words to express our feelings?

For some it is easy, it flows like a lazy river.

For some it is not so easy.

When the feelings surge inside I suddenly become speechless. I find it hard to breathe, let alone articulate the description of emotion rising in my pounding chest. Communication becomes a wall that I can’t seem to scale.

Words are not enough - paintings are not enough - songs and movies can’t portray the emotions I feel seeping through every pore of my skin.

Yet, sometimes they do.

Sometimes less is more.

Sometimes it is enough

to just plainly say, “I love you”.
