What happens now that I’ve found someone so much like me

I wasted years and years on nobody 

Yet unknowingly I had you waiting around the riverbend

How do I make sure to love you as much as I wish to love?

When words fail me and actions are all I have,

How can I let you know when you make my heart soar

and whisper a simple “I like you?”

When words fail me and actions are all I have,

How can I express that now the world seems to have a place for me 

and whisper a simple “I thank you?”

When words fail me and actions are all I have,

How can I let you know when I’m feeling low

and whisper a simple “I miss you?”

When words fail me and actions are all I have,

I must hope that my simple embrace will convey enough for you to know

The extent to which the heart in this poem belongs to you
