How Can I Be What I Was'Nt Taught To Be, Blueyed Dove?

I love you more then words will ever express, but I must never tell you, because 
you desire me to be something that I know not how to be.  Each thought of you 
race throughout my whole being and I am helded captive by them.

So when I behold your marvellousness I become as a man who has beendeaf 
and dumb from the day of his conception.  Yet, I quake within , because I desire 
so desperately to tell you how my day of joyous mysterious was, but I know you 
that you will only merely tellme I must be this or I am out of line with that.

Thus, do I keep my yearnings and experiences to myself never ever letting you 
know me.  What a tragedy to be silent when you can speak?
