How should I put this
In such a simple way for you to completely understand
Without there having to be infinite explanations
About innuendo, deliberation and outcomes
How should I say
In modest, honest terms
So that you can not disagree, disavow or dispute
All that you could do was know and do or know or do but mostly know…
How do I communicate
What lovers in life long entanglements say with their eyes
And childhood crushes, chest bursting with heart, say with embraces
With a distance between us that requires the use of mere words?
I love you is so convoluted
I miss you is just evidence of strain
You delight me is playful and flippant
When will I see you, without answer, is pain
How can I tell you
Without sounding trite, obsessed or lacking self esteem
Something bewitching without a spell cast
A way for you to feel what I feel when feelings are all we can grasp?
I need you is too adolescent
I adore you sounds bourgeoisie and fake
Your beautiful face, is superficial
Perhaps I will just leave the page blank
Seal it in an envelope, have it shipped to your door
Would you hold the sheet close to your heart
knowing exactly what it was for? I’m sure.
