I Proclaim That I Love You

I said "that I love you" this morning And you answered: thank you You were wrong, my darling You should have said: I love you too. I felt hurt. I got disappointed You tried not to encourage My pursuit. I was knocked down And I felt bad like a strange clown. If you had said that you loved me too I would have replied: I loved you more More than I could imagine under this décor. I proclaim that I love you with all my soul My goal is to keep my words, my parole To love you as I dreamt of loving and adoring you.
