How Can I Tell You
Please forgive my intrusion, I’ve taken care too far.
Please see thru my confusion, stand near, not afar.
I did not mean to include you, I can share your words for hours.
I promise not to misuse you, tho know time will not be ours.
If I can touch you with my words, then frost will let me be.
But if you think it’s all absurd, then let the ice entrap me.
I won’t think that you’re unkind, it wasn’t you who used the night.
Imagining ways to enter a mind, until morning shared its light.
The words are there, yours to enjoy, they give me a chance to know you.
It won’t hurt if I’m but a toy, because in the end it’s up to you.
Sometimes I can’t think of the right words to say.
And then when I do, a wind blows them away.
I’ll listen to the wind, the wind of your soul.
Where I’ll end up, I think only you really know.
I’ve let my words take me, to where my heart wants to go.
Now if I laugh just a little bit, maybe I can hide my thoughts of you.
And maybe I can recall the way I used to be, the day before you.
I want to, need to hold you, feel my arms around you.
To feel my arms around you, as the sea surrounds the shore.
Love, how can I tell you, the way I feel about you, any more?
