I dreamed I told you everything
Everything I’ve wanted to tell you
Everything you are, everything you mean
And how desperately I long for you
I hide behind witty remarks and jokes
Unable to say what I really mean
When every day, my heart beats you
I read your beautiful, soulful words
See your expressions of love and self-affirmation and need
And I’m more drawn to you than ever
Drawn like a sailor to sea, like shadows to light
And I wish I could come out and say “I love you”
So I say it the ways I can
I say it by pouring out verses, in winking smiles, in cute words
I say it by telling you I care
I say it by saying you mean a lot
I say it by saying I’m always here
When all the time my heart aches for you
My body begs to feel yours against me
