I wish

I wish I could tell you
How much you mean to me
How much I need you
How much I care

I wish I could tell you
However
Such a speech
Of that magnitude
Make me
Shake
Weak
And sweat

I wish I could tell you
I love you
I wish I could tell you
But
Every time I try
My mouth dries up
I open my mouth
But there is no sound

I wish I could tell you
That every time we are together
I feel the joy of living
I feel the passion of creation
The touch of your hand
A gentle hug
Opens worlds of emotional bliss

I wish I could tell you
But
Since I can't
I shall wonder off alone
Once more
