“Can You Say That You Love Me?”

We are defined by what we do not say

Expressions are the pathway to our thoughts

Smile at me; just for me

And I will know that you love me

Silence is said to create ignorance

But speaking is useless without pause

Emphasis in expression is the answer here

And your tears tell all to my heart

There may not always be a way to show how we feel

At least, not without contact

So if what you feel inside is too strong for words

Then show me with your body what you need to say

A hug for friendship; a kiss for love

A smile to show that you care

Can you cry for your pain?

And will you let me kiss your tears away?

If I show you how I feel

Will you think less of me?

If I pound on your chest in frustration

If I cry my heart out on your shoulder

If I laugh until my sides hurt

If I kiss you until words won’t come

Will you love me any less?

Do you love me as I am?

Do you love me now?

After all hat we have shared

Can you say that you love me?
