I Simply Adore You

How silly two words

Two very different words

Yet in the end

Almost the same significance

 

The same meaning yet

Hearing them feels different

One seems much more

Passionate than the other

 

And what are these

Two words you ask

That have caused confusion

Simple … adore and love

 

Let me analyze them

So it is easier

To understand the confusion

The despair they cause

 

Love it is the

Utmost feeling we can

Have for the one

We cherish so deeply

 

Adore it doesn’t sound

As strong or deep

It appears like a

Much more simpler feeling

 

Now let me define

These two simple words

The dictionary does not

Agree with my interpretation

 

Love, the dictionary says

A profoundly tender, passionate

Affection for another person

Its deep, tender, ineffable

 

Wow, I wonder how

Adore can even compare

I mean love seems

To be the ultimate

 

Adore, the dictionary says

To regard with the

Utmost esteem, love, respect

Love intensely, rapturous love

 

I am totally speechless

I really don’t know

What to say to

Justify these two meanings

 

Simply put I’m wrong

Somehow defined it seems

Adore is more intense

Than love could be

 

After all of this

I have decided that

I don’t love you

I simply adore you

Awwwww, how beautiful! I love the way you put this. What a slam on the dictionary and trying to box in something like love. Beautifully done Serendipity. :)

How wonderfully put! How very eloquently written! And, oh how very true! This is a wonderful piece you have written here and I simply must put it in my Favorites! Thank you for sharing this with the world!

Awww, this is wonderful and I have to say after it that I agree, "adore" is a stronger word. Amazing how well you pulled that together!

I enjoyed ...

Love every touch with your "hand written" note, the magnificent color (of the font and your tone), the depth of passion in your words... Simply beautiful in every way!!!
