No Asterisk

Language finds it's limits when
the meaning's always missed,
but you can take some comfort
in the honesty of this:

I love you.
With no asterisk,
I love you.
From the first time we kissed
(I love you)

An aged and broken notion
with the words that exist,
Strange how the sincerest ones
are always simplest...

I love you.
With no asterisk,
I love you.
From the first time we kissed-
I love you.

Author notes

A love song. I have a hard time writing them, because I don't like to say anything cliche, or lame. So, this is very pure and honest, and kinda simple, in a complex kind of way.

You can hear the song at purevolume.com, here.
