Friday, 4/23/10 - Love Song

I could have written you a love song,
but we both know that would be wrong,
because words are not the language that we use,
between me and you.

Morning headlines, sharing news,
and puzzling over crossword clues,
we both know the word for nine across.
Did you know that without you I'd be lost?

I could have written you a love song,
but we both know that would be wrong,
the words that I would write could not be read,
in silence there is nothing left unsaid.

Alone in this hotel room,
I wish I could come home soon,
your laughter is a sound I long to hear,
even when you're not I feel you near.

I could have written you a love song,
but we both know that would be wrong,
because there is no music and there is no melody,
that could possibly,
accompany,
you and me.

Have I told you that I miss you,
and all the little things that you do,
the unselfish ways that show how much you care,
I am aware,
you're always there.

I could have written you a love song,
but we both know that would be wrong,
because what I feel for you's too deep,
and words are not the language that we speak.


With all this cheese I should have given you some crackers...
