One day when I am a poet
I shall sing to you a song.
A song that tells the secret love
in words I cannot say.
One day when I am a poet
I will share with you the dreams
I dream of you each day-
dreams which stay unspoken.
Love-a word which is so small
but means so much
that I'm embarrased to say.
For my feelings for you so overflow
my senses, that all the books ever written
could not tell the story.
How do I say
that one day without you
is a lifetime lost;
how do I tell you
that life without you
is a flower despoiled of bloom,
a bird with withered song.
How do I tell you with words?
One day when I am a poet.
