Give me words.
Give me enough words to explain how this feels. How my senses become uncontrollable. My eyes force themselves to look away when it’s the one thing I’d never imagine doing.
My ears dare to keep shut and avoid reality. What is worse than a goodbye? Every touch is a reminder that although we lean closer, we fall further apart.
Feelings couldn’t possibly describe the skipped beats of my heart, the butterflies in my stomach, the stars in my eyes… the safety, the comfort, the serene beauty… what I’m feeling could never be felt for anyone else.
You have a way of getting my attention through even the smallest gestures. Someone would say the actions are small and meaningless, but even in the smallest of actions lies the greatest of intentions. No amount of words could be enough, and none are truly needed. What I feel for you is much more than words could ever begin to express.
Give me words to allow me to say this and truly mean it.
Give me words to silence the beats of my heart out of rhythm.
Give me words to still the butterflies’ wings.
Give me words to reflect the stars in your eyes.
Give me words to say that I love you more than you could understand, because those words would never be enough.
In return, I could give you something more substantial than words.
My heart, my soul, my unmasked and unsheltered being…
My innocent, trusting smile and this, as a promise:
if you could give me the words, I could give you reason to believe there aren’t enough to explain this.
