to say thank you

There are a million ways to say thanks

if I could see the blue of your eyes

or touch the skin on your hand

my warmth would overflow

and a tear might glow

for a while

but a small smile

instead of a pair of words

is the gift I cannot yet offer

yet I imagine the color of your eyes

holding a part of my life in your hands

yes, there are a million ways to say thanks

to say thank you
