Do you tell your wife that you love her?

When I saw her first first/I liked  her/
Was it love at first sight?/I can not say/
But I am sure it was a classic case of lustful love/

When I married her /she was in sweet eighteen/
I was just  twenty Two/Both of us were young/
Inexperienced bristling with innocence /
And ignorance of  the nuances of dealing
with relationship.

She was my love, my fire and energy
I remember to have read , the best way to
show your love towards your children is
just to love their mother
And I did love  / but did I say?
There I failed to say  that I loved her
Inadvertently; and the invisible hand of destiny
Had its own share in the drama.

This was despite my professor  writing to me
In an inland letter from Manacud,Trivandrum:
I quote from memory
you must not only love her/ but also tell her/
On a daily basis that you love her....
