- I Tried To Say -

On a cloud I wrote - I love you But the cloud blew away On a tree I wrote - I love you But someone cut down the tree In the sand on the beach I wrote - I love you But the waves wiped them away In the wind, I cried - I love you But the wind was too strong and no one could hear In a small letter I wrote - I love you But I never posted it - it was never sent But you know - I love you and my heart belongs to you 19.02.2013 A-L Andresen :)

First of all, this is catchy as well as breath-taking. I could imagine doing every line. It also reminds me of life these days, it is like I'm writing "on a cloud, in the sand or on the wind". I "post" to Life, but others... Thank you for visiting my poetry site today. Rainbow.
