Mere Words

I am a man of few words

This I know you know

And of the millions of words there are

My feelings for you I cannot show

 

Perhaps I could say "radiant"

You are brighter than the sun

Your smile lights even my dull grey self

A quality I have seen from no one

 

Or maybe you are thrilling

The way you do the things you do

I would never consider taking such risks

But perhaps one day I will with you

 

But still I feel these words do not fit

And I guess I will sit and wait

I will not say a word unless it is perfect

But I fear that when it comes to me

It may be a moment too late
