Your eyes and their depths speak more than words ever could,

it seems I am always lost in a sea of letters,

never able to combine them into a combination that would tell you how I feel,

I am never at a loss for words,

it only happens when I'm around you.

If only my eyes were granted the gift of speech,

I could spell it out to you,

tell you a story that would leave you breathless,

love revealed in every syllable,

I could tell you that I love you.

My eyes speak a language that you cannot hear,

my heart wills my words to break the surface ,

I wish you could uncover their meaning,

they have been waiting for the day that you would understand.

If only my eyes were granted the gift of speech,

I could spell it out to you,

tell you a story that would leave you breathless,

love revealed in every syllable,

I could tell you that I love you.

fear keeps me from you ,

separated as the earth keeps the sky from the sea,

longing to hold you and keep you near me,

the sky weeps for the sea,

the tides of the sea ebb in and out longing for the sky

You and I are the sky and sea,

with vibrant blue eyes we stare lovingly,

yet fear and words always keep us apart,

never knowing what lies in each other's heart

maybe one day the words will be said without a heart filled with dread,

the tides will calm and the wind will cease,

the earth will no longer separate the sky and sea,

and then you will always be here beside me.

You and I are the sky and sea,

with vibrant blue eyes we stare lovingly,

yet fear and words always keep us apart,

never knowing what lies in each other's heart
