Understatement

I sit here by myself
But alone I am not
I am encompassed with grief
My company is my thought

A thought of such gratitude
For the woman I love
For understanding my feelings
As delicate as a dove

You reach out with your love
And touch me ever so deep
I feel so very terrible
I break down and weep

I go to my place of salvation
And I put my feelings out there
Then I await your response
Because I know how much you care

It’s the caring that comforts me
No matter how bad I feel
My thoughts and emotions twisted
But your love for me is real

It doesn’t take you long
To settle this wandering mind
That’s precisely why I love you
All of your words are so kind

So when I tell you how I feel
It’s just a very small part
Of the overall feelings
Of loving you with all my heart
