If I Could Tell You

If I could tell you how I feel It would go like this And I hope you take it to heart I am in love with you I find my love to be quintessential I find you to be quintessential Well also you are quite quaint I believe in you I acknowledge you for what I have observed I see you at your core I see you being a protector I see you light up over simple pleasures I see you being silly with your dog I see you with such joy I see your intellectual mind at play And this comes with your wonderment of the world I see your beautiful sparkle in your eyes I have been in the presence of your deep kindness Reaching your hand out to a child Lovingly stroking an animals fur Speaking softly to respect someone’s need for quiet Enjoying your sense of humor full of wit, intellect and never at someone else’s expense Giving all of you to what and who you love While holding back sometimes Trying to figure it all out in your head Even when your heart is in all the way
