Original Letter:
More Than Words
by Extreme

Saying: I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel

More than words
Is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me
'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying: I love you

More than words

Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close, don't ever let me go

More than words
Is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me
'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying: I love you

"Love beyond words"

In the deep silence that surrounds our relationship, I find the truth behind the simple expression of "I love you." These three words, although powerful in their meaning, often fall into the trap of empty repetition, where their true value fades in the echo of their everyday use.

It is in this space of stillness where I discover that authentic love manifests itself in the gestures and actions we share.

I imagine, in this moment, that you could delve into the depths of your being and experience the passion that burns in my heart. You would understand, intuitively, how easy it would be to reveal our love in a way that goes beyond words.

Words alone seem insufficient to express the magnitude of what I feel for you. The repetitive and mechanical "I love you" fades before the depth of what we share. Every time our gazes intertwine in silent complicity, when we share sincere smiles or when our bodies merge in a warm embrace, love becomes something more than words.

Think for a moment that my heart breaks in two. In that moment of vulnerability, instead of relying on words that cannot repair the damage, what I truly need is for you to show your love in a tangible way. “More than words” becomes the motto I long for, a call for your actions to envelop my wounded heart in a healing embrace, restoring peace and wholeness.

I don't want you to say "I love you" too often, because I already know it. I feel your love in every gesture, in every caress, in every moment we share. When I close my eyes, I am flooded with your presence, your love, your constant care. In those moments of silent communion, our souls communicate in a language that goes beyond words, a language of eternal love.

Please never let me go, because "more than words", I need to feel your love by my side. Every touch of yours is a promise, every hug a demonstration of your love. Your actions become a melody that fills my heart.

I hope you enjoy it. Goodnight
