I cannot yet
Convince my tongue to say
What is so clearly written in my eyes.
Fingers have traced it on your body.
Arms have draped it over your tired shoulders.
Heart has sang it as you laid your weary head on my chest
But...
I know that is not enough. You hunger
To hear my lips say those words back to you and I
Am starving you.

I cannot yet
Convince my tongue to say
What is so clearly written in my eyes.
Fingers have traced it on your body.
Arms have draped it over your tired shoulders.
Heart has sang it as you laid your weary head on my chest
But...
I know that is not enough. You hunger
To hear my lips say those words back to you and I
Am starving you.
Wanting so desperately to say "I love you", but having suddenly lost the ability to speak.
