To Say Poem by DAVID TERRY

To say that I miss you doesn’t say nearly enough
To say that I wonder how you are downplays what wonder is
To say that I hope for your best means hope is more than a promise
To say that I am less without you is only just the start
To say that I am more because of you is because you bring out my best
To say that I feel deeply about you only scratches the surface of my feelings
To say that I wish only well for you is only the first of my wishes
To say that I smile when I think of you is because you’re the happy in my smile
To say that I love you is still the best gift I can share
