darling around

I just thought "darling" must
be a gerund or present participle,

and the verb "to darl." I darl, you
darl, he or she darls, we's darlent,

(always with apostrophe 's oh
shut up, sorry) we darl, y'all's 
darlin', they darl

Like that. The meaning is
too obvious to state, I hope. Darlers.
Darlees. Darlousness and Darlition. 

It scans, it scales, it scopes. 

I mean, have I missed something
or am I just right? What happened
to English that we messed-up this
easy skip, step jump stunt for so long?

Darlin' I might have to write a song.
