When Words Fail Me

When all words fail me,

let me show you I love you through my eyes.

When they shine at your presence,

or gaze at your beauty, oh my!

How you satisfy me.

As my eyes gloss with desire,

I’ll use them to say the words:

I love you.

When all words fail me,

let me show you I love you through my smile.

When it greets you at our hellos,

or tops off the perfect moment between us.

Nothing else is needed.

As it fills you up with happiness,

I’ll use my smile to say the words:

I love you.

When all words fail me,

let me show you I love you through my hugs.

My embrace symbolic of my heart opening to receive you,

and cloak you in my warmth.

Relax there, you are safe.

As you seek comfort in my touch,

my arms will say the words:

I love you.

So never worry or doubt how I feel.

Because when the words fail me,

through my actions I will show you

that I love you.
