Letter To a Lover

I am writing to you now
Because my voice is weak
I have so much to say
but for unknown reasons 
I cannot speak

I have it down on paper
How I feel about you
Here, take this, read it
I hope you feel the same way too.

---- 
I want to be the electrical current
Surging through your nerves
A drug induced stimulant
It's your body I want served

To take your body,
Infiltrate your mind
I asked god for a helping hand
I believe you're his sign

I wish that you could see me
In the way that I see you now
Like the way a king feels
Upon receiving his crown

Like total amazement, the thrill of
The rapid waters white
The pure joy of a blind man
If given back his sight
