I love you quietly

I love you in a prayer

From inside a hospital chapel

Where I can worship idols

With hands like yours

Surrounded by people

With cemeteries in their minds

I love you in a whisper

From inside a public library

Where I can read novels

With words that remind me of you

Surrounded by people

With better things to do than read

I love you quietly

but with conviction

Because I don't believe in love

But I believe in the way I love you 

An adoration so divine 

I see God

When I look at you 

Because the truth is

I could fill libraries 

Writing about how

I fell in love

With how I love you
