Words I Couldn't Say

Arms hold me tight

Eyes questioning my thoughts

Lips brushing softly against mine

Hesitation is in my breathes

You wait

Hoping to hear

Words I couldn't say

 

Because you swear our love is real

Nothing can rip us apart

We're ment to live happily ever after

From now until....

 

You talk about the future

Marriage

Kids

The works

I could do what my hearts says

Just walk away

Oh no, I don't think I will

Your promising devotion keeps me here

Something is telling me

To say

Those words I couldn't say

 

Because I know we are real

I see it in your

Eyes

Smile

I feel it in your

Touch

Hear it in your

Voice

 

Everyday you wait for me

To says those words I couldn't say

Today I think I will

 

Hand in hand

Our bodies close

Kissing each other

You wait still

 

I look into knowing eyes

Courage is in my breathes

Here it goes

 

I love you

These used to be words

I couldn't say

This is wonderful. Saying "I love you" can be so difficult. We fear the love might not be returned so we hold back. A very tender and romantic poem.

[Raven Starhawk]

Your meaningful message is one well grasped by this reader. Lovely poem.

I love the tones you use to convey your message. I also was impressed that, while the one was speaking of the future, the other was struggling to say "I love you," which makes the situation seem like: if we love, the future will be just fine.

sometimes, we "poets", can write the most beautiful sonnet but cannot say a freakin' word in person...what's up with that?

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

An exemplary poem, very evocative indeed :)

[Jibey]

The poem kind of rambles along with its thoughts in rather a charming and disarming way...'I look into knowing eyes' - yes, a sort of romantic touch there like the lips that brush together. 'Courage is in my breathes' (typo, you meant breaths!) - I struggled to imagine what courageous breath might be like. But then we slip into a common everyday phrase: 'Here it goes' lol

I love you

Fabulous..!!!

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is kind and beautiful. Love need to be a slow opening of doors. I learn with life. If I could go back in time. I would of love more and talk/ complain less. I like the story of love in the poem. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

Don't wait to long to say those words you couldn't say for you may never get the chance. Life brings about the unexpected so cherish the ones you love and let them know exactly how you feel.
