I wanted To Say

Softly I draw you closer,

holding your hand

and drowning within your eyes,

swimming into your heart.

I leave you with my words.

I wanted to say I understand

instead I only say I care.

I wanted to say I care

but I can only say I love you.

Slowly I draw you closer

and I realize now

you are my dawn, my light

you are the edges

of all tomorrows.

But still I wanted to offer you

the world, the stars

but I can only offer you

my words, my heart.
