I Wanted To Tell You (poem)
I Wanted To Tell You
I wanted to write you
Something special
But I couldn’t think
Of what to write
I wanted to tell you
Something that would
Fill your heart
Fill your heart right up
I’m sitting here
Wondering how
Not knowing
Exactly how to tell you
To tell you
Yes you
You are made
Of special stuff
Of things more beautiful
Than you know
I wanted to tell you
That I miss you
Because of this
You dance in my memory
Or the way
You look when you think
The way you talk
And the feeling of
Your heart in a room
It’s the little things
You see
The little things
I’ll remember most
All the joy you bring
Even when you
Don’t feel good enough
Those days when things feel hard
The darkness comes
And it shrouds around you
Like a heavy cloak
Because the grief sits in your chest
And makes it difficult to breathe
And I know
I know, I know,
It must
Since you sometimes
Just dont know
I thought I would tell you
I wanted to tell you
So I don’t forget
To let you know
Before it’s too late
Cause it might be too late one day
So I wanted to write
You something special
So you remember
That you are singular
Miraculous really
A truth and beauty
That takes my breath
Out of my chest
I wanted to tell you
Tell you right now
To tell you
All of the things
You are broader than
All of the things
you are brighter than
And I sit here
As the days get darker
I settle in and wonder
About all of the things
That are so stunning
In this life
And
All of the things
I wanted to tell you
*A little bumpy one
From me to you
Cause I just wanted to tell you
Simple as that*
