Illiterate in Love

Illiterate in Love

Able to read the paper,
Able to read a report,
Able to read an essay,
I'm illiterate in love,

A child's happiness I can read,
An animal's too,
Reading the dictionary with no problem,
I'm illiterate in love,

I enjoy reading comics,
Poetry and blogs,
Fiction and non-fiction,
I'm illiterate in love,

The words spelled out for me,
Pushed directly in front of my face,
I squint and ponder,
Over-analyze and debate,

Unable to read your attraction,
Unable to read your interest,
Unable to read your feelings,
I'm illiterate in love.
