Two Words

It’s funny how we both play the same game, and with the same rules.
How we both want to say something, but we just can’t say the words.

And even though we fight the urge to do it, we let the other one know,
that the feeling’s out there, it’s mutual, and it’s real.

Maybe we do it with songs, written and sung by someone else,
who’s probably smarter than us, and braver.

Maybe we do it just with a smile, that takes over our faces,
our words, and even our breaths.

Nevermind. I’m being stupid. And yet again, not saying the words.
Those two words that could sum things up, and be as clear as water.

I'm being a coward, and I’m not used to it. But I take it easy with myself,
cause I know I’m in a new place. Somewhere I’ve never been before,
and caution is advised, to whom are playing with matters of the heart.

Having said that, I hope you know that the words, the feelings,
are constantly in my head when I see you, I hear your voice,
and even when I think of you.

And even though I maybe use songs rather than words of my own,
and drawings or pictures, rather than the initiative to act about it,
and maybe I hide in the written language instead of actual words,
and worse yet, in a foreign tongue. I do my best to let you know,
that I’m crazy about you, and that I feel those words we cannot say.
