"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something."

If I could ever have writ' such a song or tale
or poem or song,
a verse or yet a line
none can compare to the one small
sentence,
in meaning,
but without meter, tone or rhyme;
for in all occassion,
all mysteries,
all settings
and moods,
no one word can derive a message
so intense and personal,
as striking as the full moon
and as captivating as a sunday sermon
as the words
of
"I need you."


for if ever a conversation
meant a thing to you,
these are the only words i
have to say,
alongside the choice of you.
