Body Language
I had all the words in my head
on the tip of my tongue
aching for release
from my soul into yours
But my lips never stood a chance
at uttering the delights of my heart
They were embraced by yours
Reading love in your eyes
I translated the message
to send it back to you
my hands signaling
my heartbeat dancing
my mouth forming the words
the perfect words
that mean "I love you"
But all I could do was sigh
give my body over
and listen
to you
