Tell me not to love with all my mortal heart.
I love you in every breath that escapes my lips
In the blood that flows through my veins,
And the stained surface of my teeth when I smile.
I love you with my laugh that lingers in the air long after I have forgotten what I laughed about
I love you in my sleep,
When I surrender control over my conscious thoughts
I love you with the soul.
My soul.
Infinitely.
Beyond measure,
And beyond barriers.

"I love you with my laugh that lingers in the air long after I have Forotten what I laughed about," I never heard that feeling described. The way you wrote it makes it vary clear. Its incredible that few people put this into words. You made it look obvious.
