I could take a million words
and weave them into a basket
to hold my love for you

But feelings cannot be contained with pretty words

I could write an equation
and account for all the variables
to define my love for you

But feelings cannot be quantified, there are too many unknowns

I could let my body take over
and dance until I can't breathe
to show my love for you

But feelings transcend the body as they do the mind

I could bare my soul
and let you see all of my imperfections
to express my love for you

If I let you see my deepest self
Then you could understand
The feelings I have for you.
