you were a beautifully constructed sentence
you were complete in thought and made sense
i wanted to be with you
i wanted to be a part of you
i thought i could be a period
and show you you how things end for us
then again, how about a comma
so we could pause and think of what's next
i also thought about being a question mark
so we'd both ask what we do not know
or an exclamation mark
to let your immense feelings show
an apostrophe maybe
to show the world that i belong to you
quotation marks, you see
i would enclose your brightest ideas
what about a colon
so we could begin a list of your dreams
maybe a semi colon
to join our common parts and themes
but i'll choose to be an ellipsis
so only i, can know and hide
some of your words and secrets
