The Heart Speaks
I love you
I need you
My heart screams to yours
The mouth fails to let you know
What the heart longs to convey
The body responds to the love within
That is pushing against the skin
This love that wants to be unleashed
But is held back by the mouth that refuses to speak
I love you
I need you
My heart beats louder
With the hope that yours will hear
The rhythm increases
I fear my chest will tear
But...
Slowly...
My heartbeat returns to normal
As the melody from your heart finally reaches mine
I love you
I need you
Our hearts sing together
What the mouth could not say
The heart dared to sing
