To The Person I Love

the person i really love
i have not
said
i love you

the sentence is so enormous
i love you
no promises are enough
and thinking
about its immortality is too much

we just live
according to its import
moment by moment

at most
uttering i love you

destroys the essence of its purity in silence
it the quiet
where it thrives where it reigns in the kingdom of its gaze
