Loss For Words
 
 
I sit here so quietly
Searching through my head
Scarping at my brain
For something to be said
I practice this moment everyday
To express what my heart is feeling for
But now that the moment has truly come
It's not quite the same anymore
I look at you and begin to tremble
Because my body feels so weak
I can read your soul right through your eyes
But my own refuse to speak
My stomach turns and my palms sweat
I feel hot yet still I shiver
Even as I force out words
My lip still tends to quiver
I look at you, so beautiful
And my pulse begins to race
My heartbeat stops as I run my fingers
Along the edge of your gentle face
The simple touch could make me blush
And send my thoughts running wild
As I fall deep into the shimmering ocean
Of your neverending smile...
Yet still I stand at loss for words
With my sleeping mind at trial
But with just one kiss, I realize in bliss,
They've been there all the while.
