Unexpressed

Sometimes I think my heart will burst
Like a balloon inside my chest
With all the love that's waiting here
Unexpressed

Fingers that ache to intertwine
Warmest of chords, but missing tune
Where is the laugh to echo mine?
Send it soon

The words my lips would form
The circle these two arms would make
Safe and warm
Someone could be safe and warm

But maybe the love we yearn to give
Can find a release some other way
Coloring how we choose to live
Every day
The kindness we can share

The kindness we can share
The comfort these two arms might lend
In despair
Someone's always in despair

Still, I'm
Longing to meet that pair of eyes
Dark as the night, or endless blue
Holding a light I'll recognize
Something clear
Something true
Something that seems to mean
Something I haven't seen
Since
You
