April

I wish I had the ability to write
about how your eyes shine
in the morning when you're tired
and that feeling i get when you
hold my hand

I wish I could write about
how much you mean to me
and that feeling I get when you
brush my hair away to
kiss my forehead

I wish I could write about
the nights with you
and the mornings without
write about
the beat of your pulse
the sound of your breath
your whispers

But they haven't created
the correct words that can
describe my feelings for you
and I'm far too afraid
that my thoughts and feelings
would get lost in translation

What if I over dramatize it
or underplay it
what if I exaggerate the wrong parts
and ignore the important ones

At any rate, I'll never write it quite the way I want to.
