The Right Words

That I never told you,
Doesn’t mean I never loved you,
I just couldn’t find the right words,
To tell you I love you.
I didn’t want the wrong words,
Or the wrong gestures for that matter,
To ruin what you’d know.
It was all too precious.

I think of all the immature ideas,
All the ways I thought I’d tell you.
And I smile foolishly,
I even burst out laughing.
I just didn’t have the right words.
For all that I have to tell you,
I want you to know every little bit,
Even if you don’t feel the same way.

Because what I feel for you is really priceless,
And I’ll wait an entire lifetime,
Till I find the right words.
