Love Poem: Body Language

Body Language

I had all the words in my head
    on the tip of my tongue
    aching for release
        from my soul into yours
But my lips never stood a chance
    at uttering the delights of my heart
They were embraced by yours

Reading love in your eyes
    I translated the message
        to send it back to you
            my hands signaling
            my heartbeat dancing
            my mouth forming the words
                the perfect words
                    that mean "I love you"
But all I could do was sigh
    give my body over
        and listen
            to you
