I Mean It When I Say I Love You
Updated: May 2
(if someone wants to set this to some music - do it)
Words can be empty
A record with a skip
Cycles of syllables
Turning round and round
“I love you”
“Your beautiful”
“I’m sorry”
“It’s okay”
I say these thoughts
With a will of gold
The meanings are deep
But lost in the translation
To turn back time
To the first sentence
The first saying
The first silence after the word love
Now it seems buried
Lost under a pile of things
Things left out by our lives
The clutter of living
“You look good”
“Your skin is so soft”
“That’s a nice dress”
“Excuse me”
To bring back the feelings
The rushes of thought
Utterances spoken softly
Things I longed for you to hear
