LOVING YOU, by                    
Last Line: "when lips are only lips, and eyes are only eyes?"
Subject(s): Hearts


Loving you so that I would steal if you were hungry;
Loving you so that skies grow gray when you are sad;
Loving you so that I would die to make you happy,
Die with a smile if dying would but make you glad.

Loving you so that when we walk in crowded places,
Sudden my eyes grow misted with a veil of tears,
So that I only see a blur where there were faces;
Loving you so that I am swept with bitter fears.

When you are late or hurried or a bit impatient;
Loving you so that when my head is on your breast,
Words do not come and sudden thoughts go all unspoken;
Loving you so that just your reaching hands bring rest --

How can I ever let you know the love I bear you,
How can I tell you, dear, that true love never dies?
When words are only words and hands are only fingers,
When lips are only lips, and eyes are only eyes?
