Without Words

Time slipping away like water running through my fingers.
I try to grasp the moment, but only a moment it was here and gone.
A glimpse of what I could have
A feeling so deep, no words can describe.
Did I miss my chance?
I panic as I always do
I struggle to breathe
I gather my words, the words that will keep you here.
I promised myself I would say them this time
The words you long to hear.
They shouldn’t be taken so lightly
Not given in a heated moment only to make you stay
I thought that perhaps you would know exactly how I felt without actually saying them
A love without words
Without sound
A dream I know
Shall I say them even though the meaning isn’t as deep to me ?
Words are nothing, why cant you see ?
Actions are everything to me.
This choice I do not like
I tell you daily whenever I look upon your beautiful face
It is here in my eyes, in my touch
In every beat of my heart.
Feel me ?

I cannot tell you
I can only show you.
