If I wanted to write a poem for you, what would I write about?
(Better not go too far)
Other eyes than yours may sparkle
(Better be very careful)
Other lips may smile
(Better not say too much)
Other cheeks may blush
(Better not seem to have said too much)
Other names may have music in them
(Better say nothing at all) .
But my poem would not be for others; it would be for you
(Better not even consider it) .
So this is just to say, this is not a poem
(Only, it could have been)
