With Words

drifting through the valley of fog
whispering echoes floating alongside my ears
my heart pounding it's way up into my throat
resting there, uncomforting as it is
"are you still attracted to me?" you ask
my heart inches further into my throat
all the colors around my eyes
seem to dim with only you still
vibrant and vivid in my mind's eye
I tell you yes, but I can't find the words
to tell you how much my heart
yearns for you
expressing thoughts that close to my heart
impossibly difficult
i'll try on paper and see if it
gets any closer to how i feel
your presence seems to lift me
holds me up to a light that makes
my face warm, my heart tingle
excitement, rushing a little faster
in the hope that you'll touch it more
with that special smile
I have dreams of you that are vividly peaceful
leave me with a sense of such deep love
I don't think the roots could embed
themselves any deeper into my heart
you give me the strength to love you
by doing that you let me love myself more too
that's hard to do
i try to tell you all of this, but
when I say it...for some reason
it doesn't sound as good...
my only worry is that i'll do something
to make you leave me...
that is the one thing that scares me whitless...
I don't know how you've mesmerized
my heart, body, & soul so completely
it's a total conversion from the me I used to be...
i'll just make you one promise
if my heart decides to give out
and stop loving you...
the only reason that would happen is when i die
and i hope that even then you'll be able
to feel the love i had for you
the love that i have for you now
when that for parted and let me through
that's when the sun came out
and showed me you...
