I Tell You
I tell you
Don't get ahead
Of your prettly small self
I do not love you
I tell you
Don't bask in illusions
If I loved you
It won't be in paper-words
I tell you
If l loved you
It will burn my heart
To the navel of my soul
In the stars I will etch it
The smile of the sun will know
I tell you
Don't get overboard
If I loved you
I wouldn't sordidly express
But I will go to the ends
Of every word ever
To find the best one
Which will best express
How I feel about you
I tell you
If I loved you
I will pour out my heart
I will bare my soul
And I will go to the depths
Of the whole world
And the tempestuous seas
For the world to know
How I feel about you
And no other
