A Thousand "I Love You"s

Folder: 
The Rhythm of Love

I could tell you everyday
I could say it every night
I could say it with my words
Or etch it in my rhymes

But no matter what I say or do
I could write a thousand "I love you"s
And nothing would change the truth
That you just don't feel it like I do

I could write you fancy letters
Or I could write you love songs
I could say in these poems
Or write a story about love

But no matter what I say
No matter what I do
I could write a thousand "I Love You"s
And nothing would change the truth
That you just don't feel it like I do

So I won't say it in a song
I won't say it in a rhyme
I'll just pretend that I am wrong
And keep my feelings deep inside

So no matter what I say
No matter what I do
I won't write a thousand "I Love You"s
I won't ignore the simple truth
That you just don't feel it like I do

who is this for? why dont

who is this for? why dont they
speak those words of what you say
a thousand times over, replay, replay
they should be falling for ya screaming belay, belay

maybe you should speak up, i know the feeling
of wanting to scream i love you to the sky through the ceiling
to take what you feel on the in, the out start peeling
the layers of skin to reveal the real thing

fo' real you king, i know what you should do
write them 1,000 i love you's
let her find them, scatter em through
her everything, show her, shes your muse

if it works it works it doesnt it doesnt
some wise postpoemers taught me that and i love it
cause it holds so much truth
besides shes not worth it if you dont get back a million i love you's

No on in particular

This is just another random thought. Typically, if I don't leave an author's note, it's just stray thoughts.
