linguistics (2001)

some things I simply cannot say to you.
trust me when I write because
when I speak,
we will both wish I hadn't.

the details of language compare
not to the feeling of your touch
or the sound of your voice.

my slight appreciation:
silent laughter, rolling eyes
should indicate the intensity of my
feelings for you.

I am not desensitized
just limited with language.
I am not bored of you
only tired of linguistics.

(It is just that I love you
and do not know how to say it.)
