Before I Say I Love You

If love is only a word, why does it demand oceans crossed,lands wandered, and wings broken?

Have heard a lots  about love

It’s an action word they say 

So what can I not do for you my love?

      I can swim the ocean 

if your love is in its depth

     I can wander to the neck of the land

to find where your heart rest

      I can fly

 knowing that I shall fall

    So tell me

Will you by this 

then say that I love you?
