do you know that I love you so much
that
I sit upright in bed,
chilled, and with a cold,
******* on a nasty cough drop to keep my sickness quiet,
just so you can finally get some rest?

do you know that I love you so much
that
I'm fully prepared to stay awake,
all night,
incase you need me,
because maybe your sickness has returned,
or something mean and scary has disturbed your sleep?

do you know that I love you so much
that
I didn't take a shower, because I didn't want to leave you alone,
and that I worried so much that
I allowed raindrops from my eyes to fall onto my glasses,
even though I hate getting them wet?

do you know that I love you so much
that
I sit here,
waiting,
praying to our God
that my baby boy will be well once more,
that your color will return,
your head will calm,
and that your lunch will want to stay with you?

do you know
that
I love you
this incredibly much?
