Oh, what would i say to you now? br br i could talk, but i think your smile and br those knowing, glimmering eyes would shut me up. br br what if i sang to you, i think if you let me hear br a bit of your laughter, my vocal chords would cease to move. br br i could write, however, my pen would fall flat br were you to speak but a whisper. br br my heart leaps it seeps it reaps br even to read you is a pleasure. br br to be near is ecstasy. br and sometimes i wonder in this silly br cockeyed brain of mine, br br how would you like me to be, not act br for that is shallow br and we are swimming so deep and deeper still. br br because you know that you own me br i can't help it. br br if you asked, i would be yours forever br and wish and do wish to remain here with you. br br what if one day in passing br i reached out to you. br br what if i squeezed your hand br or touched my cheek to your shirt. br br what if i grazed my lips against your ear br mouthing, 'i love you my dear.' br br what if i became transparent br revealing my secrets and all the markings of my life. br br how would you be then? not act br for that is shallow br and we are abiding in the depths. br br would you tumble stumble rumble br to tell me the same? br br i would if you would. br please? br i'll say it again. and a hundred times more br i love you. br i love you.
