truth too much

Trust me, I do exaggerate 
but I have my reasons. 
I mean to give you huge
things back, for all you've 
given me. Right-size, 
enormous, more than fits
in available words, normally
and so without even meaning
not to, I stretch - reaching 
too big, perhaps! And yet 

at the end, in
the moment of gift, 
it fits 
like a magic trick. 

And each word weighed, 
and each word true. If 
you say, "too much!" 
don't worry. 

I do, too.
