I wish that I could whisper in your ear <br />And you would know exactly what I mean, <br />My meaning coming over very clear, <br />No lines for you to look for in between. <br />My written word I sit and think about, <br />Erasing words, replacing them with more, <br />So when you see it there is little doubt <br />No strings attached, it's you that I adore. <br />If only I could do that when we speak <br />And let you know exactly how I feel, <br />Come out directly with the words I seek <br />And make my vague endeavours something real. <br />I write and all the right words just appear - <br />Why don't they when I whisper in your ear?<br /><br />Terry Donovan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wish-25/
