I wish I could write you a love song
With a tune that would stay in your heart
Something that rhymes and lingers so long
That you'd hum it when ever we are apart
I wish I could write you a love poem
With the words that would reach to your soul
Something that rhymes and strikes so close to home
That your heart would finally feel whole
I wish I could write you a book
With a plot that would open your eyes
Something that flows and has such a hook
That your hopes would soar up to the skies
I wish I could say all the things that I feel
With passion you could take hold of
Something that sooths your heart till it heals
That you would know the extent of my love
