What I'm really saying

If I tell you you look nice
you would say it's been
said a thousand times like that.
If I whisper I love you
you might say it's been
whispered a million times like that.

But
What if I look deeply at you
and ask for the chance to honor
your darkness and light,
with every breath and step
until I speak and walk no more?

Well now,
then you might say that no man
has ever loved you
as completely as I.

So my dear, when I say
you look nice
you will know
what I'm really saying
is that I'll love you always.
