Can you kiss me
before I find the wrong words to say?
Before I piece together phrases
that I think I mean, but I don't.
I need a sign
or maybe a sunset with you by my side
would be enough to convince me that I'm in love.
You've thrown your every emotion into me
and I've searched myself inside and out
to find something worth giving back
but I keep coming back with empty hands.
You tell me there's no such thing as empty hands
if I have you
because you'd fill the gaps
between my fingers with your own.
You can fill my hands, but I can't fill your heart.
I know I can't measure up
to what you've done for me
or how you feel for me
and perhaps it is for that very reason
that I can not persuade my own lips to form
the words you want to hear.
So kiss me before I say something
far from what I mean
and maybe that will be enough.
