What if I were to say I love you,
With all the strength and breath in me?
Would I be too bold?
Would I come off too strong?
Could I not just be...... passionate?

What if I were to say I love you,
With a whisper as soft as a breeze?
Would I be shy?
Would I seem too afraid to show my feelings?
Could I not just be...... intimate?

What if I did not say I love you?
With silence I held closed my lips.
Would I be selfish?
Would I miss out on love by not sharing?
Could I not just convey my feelings...... without words?

.............

Because words alone can't express,
how much I love you.

(For Micaela)

I would think, that if Micaela were to read your wonderful words of love, she would definitely know how much she means to you!

Welcome to Passions!  Seems like you know how to get your point across, because sometimes, questions are JUST as important as the Answers...

Thank you all.  I just recently started to put my thoughts on paper. I wasn't sure if I could even write a poem worth sharing. Thanks for building up my confindence.
Now if she could just feel the same as you all have about my words.
