I want to speak to you
In a language I cannot understand.
That has never been written down.
With words that were not created by me
So I cannot take full credit
But I find useful for my purposes
They said it should be easy
That I should just be able to say how I feel.
Not with this tongue.
And those who said it is nothing
Never knew what it is like to give their everything to someone else.
Or they would be nervous too
Because these words that are worth saying
Are worth a second thought
I said I did not understand this language
But I know it is the most influential power that comes from my body.
I wish I could take out my heart and let it speak for me
While I was in another room.
I guess I have to muster up some courage
Because this language requires multiple emotions in one phrase
And some of these emotions are contradictions
Bravery and fear
Humor and seriousness
Happiness and apprehension.
But through all this trepidation.
Its amazing that with the same mouth I can put common food with
I can say I love you with all my heart.
