How can I tell you
Just all that you are?
Words dance at the tip of my tongue,
And yet, other words seem so far.
What words then can be said,
That will define your every beauty and grace?
And what words can I say
That will make your heart race?
I cannot say that you are perfect,
Because you are so far beyond that fact;
But I can say that you are one of a kind,
This I know to the exact.
What words then can be uttered,
That will help warm your very heart?
And what words can I say
That will never depart?
I cannot say I will promise you the sun,
Because the sun is just too heavy a thing to hold;
But I can say I will remain by your side,
Even during the days in which we are old.
What words then can I express,
That will take your every ounce of breath away?
And what words can be said
That will forever make you stay?
I cannot say that we are infinite,
Because no one has ever touched infinity;
But I can whisper and promise to you this:
Our love will echo on into eternity.
