You? In 50 Words Or Less

You say I've never written you a poem. I want to; I've tried. You know, I used to write them, once... Funny how the things that matter most Cannot be put into words: The dancing light in your eyes Your intoxicating scent that still teases me from the pillow after you've gone Your lips that from the moment they touched mine breathed me to life Your laugh so contagious that even when I think of it I smile All of these qualities make up you but are not you... You I could never put into words. I want to; I've tried. This is why I've never written you a poem.
