Engage Me

To kiss every star With a whispered word from afar Would not be enough If I pulled off each petal red From every rose bed It would not amount to as much To swim to the bottom of the sea To search for every grain of sand beneath me I could never prove to you how vast Has grown my adoration Nor how long it would last This overwhelming fascination If I could shout from the mountains as loud As the intensity felt from my vow I would not have voice powerful enough If I could sing for as long As I wanted... to continue this song There wouldn't be lyrics enough To write every word in order to explicate It would never quite demonstrate For I love you more than all of this More than all the rest And I hope only that I can show you When you ask and I say yes
