I want to describe you to them
…but I do not know how to start
how can I tell them about your eyes
- that sparkles when you think mischief
how can I tell them about your laugh
- that could start an avalanche of joy
how can I tell them about your hugs
- that warms & thaw the chills of fear
how can I tell them about your scent
- that comforts & enthuse a harried soul
how can I tell them about you
when I know they can never know
the you
I’ve come to see
and hear
and feel
I do not know how to start and I fear even if I can
I will not be able to finish
How can I describe you to them
When all I want to do is to secretly hold you in
…when I know I can never let go
