How Do You Show The Depth Of It In Words? Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Herman de Coninck)

When half angry you get into the car
then you want me to travel with you.

When angrily you do peer and do point your finger at me
then you want me to take you in my arms.

When you start crying in the movies
then you want me to take out a handkerchief and make you whole again

and when you do tell me how much you do love me
then you want me to tell you how deeply I am in love with you

and even if I do say: "I do love you infinitely, "
it still does mean nothing
as how do I show the depth of it in words?
