How Do I Tell you

How do I tell you how much you mean to me. (for someone special)

 

                      Through the mountains and in the valley is where I once remain

                              In the shadows is where I lurked hiding away my pain.

                                                But by the fire I found my light,

                                          Shining through this collapsing night,

                                          This fire may flicker but it will not go out.

                                          I can give it my heart without any doubt.

                                        How do I tell a flame It's the light of my life,

                                            that piercing blade in my inner strife.

                                        How do I tell a flower it's more than a weed,

                                              to tell an acorn it's not just a seed.

                                          How do I tell you of what beauty you hold,

                                      that I cherish your touch both warm and cold.

                                            How do I tell you your eye's aren't blue.

                                            How do I tell you they're not even green,

                                        But the most gorgeous sight I have ever seen.

                                            Your smile brings life to my dieing day,

                                          And I cherish your presents in every way.

                                              How do I tell you that you are my all,

                                              you are my world, you are my wall.

                                                        I bare a love so great,

                                                    that can bare a terrible fate.

                                                          But I bare it or you,

                                                          for my love is true.

                                                          No Hal-mart greeting,

                                                          No simple meaning. 

                                                              I love you now,

                                                            I'll love you then.

                                                  Girl, your love is my favorite sin.
