One day, you will permit me

To speak from my heart

To say all the emotional words

Expressed with my deepest love

You know, I love you

For the many wonderful things that you are

For the fire simmering in your eyes

For your energy and your drive

Your enthusiasm and zest is contagious

Your companionship is soothing to my soul

Our dialogue is unrestricted

Nothing is quite that freeing

Yet, you don’t know do you

For the one thing that hasn’t been allowed

Is for me to speak from my heart

Your heart is not open to receive this

I believe though

That one day will come

When all defenses will brought down

My words will be welcome

Until then, my love

I will hold these things inside

Waiting for the day

When I will be permitted to speak
