The poetry keeps beating me

If Only I could Let you Know

If only I could let you know,

The nights I have spent longing for you.

The pit just here between my stomach and my heart,

How it sings out for you when you are not near.

If only I could let you know,

Just what you mean to me.

If only I could let you know;

How many angels upon a pin head,

How infinite the mind is,

How large the soul

And how small the first tear that was cried,

when the first lover came to feel as I do.

Then I could adequately sum my love for you.

Then I could put my feelings into words.
