Lover’s Respite

How can I have so many words to share,
But never enough to say,
I love you

How can I be the wordsmith,
and never have the conviction to know
That I will not be denied by you.

I would give up my beliefs,
My faith and my words,
I would give up my life,

If only for a seconds worth.
I would give up my convictions,
I would give up my faith for you.

If only I was brave enough to say that.
If only I was brave enough to know;
You wouldn’t deny me.

How can I have so much conviction to know,
That all you believe cannot exist.
How can I know so much

Yet falter in your eyes?
You are no braver than I,
You are no more convicted than I,

You are no better than I
So why can I,
Not look you in the eye,

Not stare you in the face,
How can I stand there,
And not know how to say I love you.

When we both know it’s all I’ve wanted to say
Since the moment I saw you,
Since the moment I knew you.
