I Can't Tell You

I can't tell you that you are beautiful,
I can't tell you how it feels to be chained,
I can't tell you what's on the inside.
I know that as long as there is a forever,
It won't be me dancing with you.

I can't tell you how your beauty leaves me crying.
I can't tell you about the tears you cannot see.
I can't tell you how they cascade the waterfalls of my heart.
Flowing deep within all that is me I long for you,
Like I have longed for no other.

I can't tell you about the happiness I yearn to give you.
I can't tell you for it must remain locked within me.
I can't tell you that I know of your neglected life.
But know that as long as there is a World,
I will cherish you.

I can't tell you that I feel what you want.
I can't tell you that I see it in your eyes.
I can't tell you what you mean to me.
I can't tell you because you are not free.
I want to, I can't tell you.
