what words express this that i feel?
such sleepless nights i've spent in vain.
for pens can't match-no words reveal-
this that i long to be explained.

is this simple adoration?
your absence aches and leaves me crushed.
is love this thirsting sensation?
to call it such would be too rushed.

it leaves me stunned, caught in your gaze,
that simple speech becomes contrived.
and in this moment i'm amazed
feelings forgot arise inside.

   so finding not words to impart,
   i give just this-i give my heart
