Silhouette

12/21/03

 

I can not find a simple way to express how I feel

You’ve heard it time and time again, as a repeating movie reel

But even if I were to take Shakespeare’s words away

They still would do no justice to the words I try to say

 

I stumble, falling gently to the hue of your brown eyes

And the gentle touch of your soft skin seems to entertain our signs

Times have changed so slightly, yet it all feels new to me

Yourself and I, entangled, as each other’s all we see

 

I lack the power in my mind to say what you don’t believe

But perhaps, with written word, I’ll reach what I can’t achieve

I get lost gazing into your eyes, it’s like another place

When my lips meet your so gently, and I caress the beauty’s face

 

It’s like an angel rising from the bottom of my soil

And holding you so close to me makes me feel oddly whole

When we’re apart, I fall asleep seeing your silhouette

Reaching, I can not quite obtain the touch I can’t forget

 

I find myself awake at night, thinking about you

Longing, loving laughing as I share my feelings true

And sometimes while you question the importance of your worth

I can’t find a way to say you’re the most beautiful on Earth

 

For we’re both scared of what the big emotion will entail

The good, the bad, I’ll be the first to raise my snow-white sail

And as we’re not sure how or when to speak words "I love you"

Oddly enough, I can’t deny, I think I truly do
