if I could tell you all of me
through the tears I cry
spilling my love over my smiling, laughing lips
slipping into yours
emotions too strong to grasp
cannot be contained
I try to tell in half-sentence babble
love I cannot yet explain
my heart is full
with words too beautiful for speech
I could cry into your chest
the story of my soul
sing it to the beat of your heart
I could dream you a vision of me
where words are left unspoken
hoping you can see
words to be heard
