Things I Might Have Said

I tried to write a poem
About my love for you
So I could tell you how I feel
But I wasn’t able to
I wanted you to know for sure
That I love you very much
And wanted words of poetry
Your heart somehow to touch
I wanted you to know that I
Adore you when you smile
And I always want to be with you
If only for awhile
I hoped my poem would convey
What a part of me you are
And no matter where I may be now
Thoughts of you are never far
My poem would have told you
Of the joy inside my heart
And how it’s always been that way
From the day we had our start
But the poem that I hoped to write
Will forever be unread
And you will never know my thoughts
Or the things I might have said
