The Card
I see the words you love me
Every single day
I use them in my mind
The same old usual way
The words that were once hidden
But in my mind finally given
Words at once I thought forbidden
A way for dreams to start their living
I carry the envelope for in it I found
The words of love that said aloud
Soon one day behind the clouds
I’ll find the love dressed in a shroud
My feelings within me leap with joy
The feelings of children getting a toy
I read the words everyday
Deep inside me did she say it that way
I long to reach her once and for all
To say I love her before I fall
I wonder if these words will reach her eyes
And find her loving with great surprise
And then we’ll wonder where love will be spent
On a telephone or papers sent
Where to hold hands when to ask for a kiss
Is it for fun or is my heart really lite
With these words I’ve given not lent
I hope for always to find an even split
A trade between would be lovers
A find for the searching finally uncovered
