Pardon me my dearest love
for my having temporarily
omitted to say that I so
earnestly, truly and permanently
love you; but I was so earnestly
clearly engaged, both mentally
enumerating plus significantly
also gratefully and thoroughly
delightedly, really pleasurably
consolidating the multiplicity
of fantastically, astoundingly
good reasons I emphatically
and adorably firmly love you
that the lovely core element
of all this, a resounding and
rather enduring love for you
very literally did temporarily
so regrettably slip past this
such distinctly outstanding
on my part, full appropriate
everlasting worship, of you.
A temporary error, I honestly
assure you, quite transient
in its existence; and also
furthermore was actually, basically
a one-off occurrence, which rather
simply was quite distinctly clearly
and similarly rather honestly also
essentially, never consciously for
a solitary moment, ever planned.
Nor, will it quite honestly ever be
something: I firmly, emphatically
and wholeheartedly do promise
you, it’ll ever be that realistically
a state of affairs, that’s ongoing.
