When ' I like you' seems too easy, <br /> and when ' I think you're cute ' seems slow, <br /> with everything I know of language, <br /> where do the right words go? <br /> <br /> When ' I need you ' doesn't fit yet, <br /> and ' I want you ' is too strong, <br /> where are those words, that I can say, <br /> that won't come out all wrong? <br /> <br /> I'm lingering in limbo, I know not what to say, <br /> there is no guiding light today to show this boy the way, <br /> mis - chosen, clumsy, awkward words, <br /> when all I'm asking is ' please stay '? <br /> <br /> Perhaps in time I'll find the verbs, <br /> to show you what I feel, <br /> 'till then I hope you understand, <br /> that the words I blurt are real.<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/surreal-words/
