I would write to you if only I could.
But I can't distract myself from my own head; it just hasn't been quiet around here since my mind first started humming with the idea of loving you.
Knowing your soul like my own would blossom within me like a sprawling forest.
But while you're still unsure, I'm just wandering through the leaves.
And while I'm gone, I'll bet the trees pray to be dead just so they don't have to listen to me talk about you again.
But I ache with sorrow for their misunderstanding,
Because you are a song I will sing until it hurts anywhere above a whisper.
