To my lover,

I want to say the words to you

To lay it all out

To tell you what I feel

What I need

What I want

It would make me happier than you know

And I don’t know if you understand

It must frustrate you

Beyond words

That I can’t say to you

What’s in my heart

Please be patient

It’s all I ask

Someday they’ll all come out

All the words

We need to hear

Someday soon

But for now, know that I love you

And I do

With all my heart

And let it be enough

To keep you sustained

Until I can open up

And share everything with you

My love
