I will not admit I love you
Even though that is what I feel
For fear of feeling like every other
Who did feel something so real
I will not say I love you
Even though I truly do
For that is to speak a word too often spoken
to One I wish to offer something new
I will sing no more ballads
Though love drives me to verse
For every song tells the same
However long or however terse
So I will just keep silent
And revel in the quiet pleasure
That no one feels about you quite like me
That is both my gift and my treasure
My ocean and my sea
