Whisper Softly

By: Barbra Faye Smith

how do i say i love you?
how do i tell you i care?
how do i tell you i've missed you,
and let you know i'm here?

how do i tell you my feelings,
when i'm longing for your touch?
how can i make it without you,
when i love you, way too much?

how do i kiss you softly,
and hope that it's returned?
how do i tell you that always,
the fire for you has burned?

how can i draw you closer,
when the passion reaches my eyes?
how do I let you know,
for your touch, my body cries?

how can i tell you these things?
do i whisper them into your ear?
how do i tell you i need you,
and that i'll be forever near?

i think i'll whisper them softly
and hope that you can see
how very much i love you,
and hope that you love me.
