I wish I was a better poet.
One who could find words easily.
Even hard words that are
strong yet tender.
Words that can say just
how much I feel about you my love.
Yet you are careful
with your words of love.
Passing them to me sparingly
like precious diamonds.
While I pour out my hearts tenderness
Like a waterfall to you.
I want to close my eyes
and remember you when you looked
at me with sweetness and need.
Now all I see is endings.
In reflection I think I gave you
Every heartbeat I have.
And you gave me just a couple
of yours in return.
