I remember, towards the end
\nYou asked me why I don’t tell you
\nYou are beautiful<\/p>\n
I thought it strange you would ask such a\u00a0 thing
\nAs I recall, I told you so every day<\/p>\n
I smiled when you ever came to mind
\nWhich was always
\nWhen I saw you, I wouldn’t hesitate to kiss you
\nWhen you would pass by
\nI would embrace you
\nNever to let go<\/p>\n
You said, I didn’t show it enough
\nI didn’t tell you enough<\/p>\n
You were mistaken, mi amor
\nI told you every day
\nEvery moment you were in my presence<\/p>\n
Could it have been that I did not say it enough?
\nI won’t deny that
\nIn my defense, though, you knew I was of few words
\nMy heart did not reside on my sleeve<\/p>\n
In fact, the truth is
\nI did not dare attempt such a feat<\/p>\n
To tell how beautiful you are
\nHow much more I fall in love
\nWhen you look at me
\nYour way<\/p>\n
I can not encapsulate the extent of your grace
\nWithin the mire of words
\nSought and placed as markes
\nUpon the portrait you are<\/p>\n
It would be as futile a thing to attempt
\nAs it would be for anyone to describe a sunset<\/p>\n
Try as I might have, it would be done in vain
\nFor I could never put words to what I could never understand<\/p>\n
It is my greatest regret
\nFor all that we lived
\nFor all the love we had<\/p>\n
You could never see
\nThe words I spoke
\nIn ever kiss
\nIn every look
\nIn every moment when all I could do
\nIs stare in wonder<\/p>\n
How could a wayward soul like me
\nBe so lucky<\/p>\n
To find such a beautiful thing
\nIn such an ugly world
\nAnd somehow convince it
\nTo love me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
