Mine

Let me start with cliches
Because those are all I have to say
That you mean everything to me

How can I put into words
How I feel, when how I feel
Leaves me speechless?

I try not to think too hard
about it
For fear it will blow away
like a cloud in the breeze

Should I use rhymes?
Would they convey
the way I feel more
accurately?

"Love is a rose
but you better not pick it.
It only grows
when it's on the vine.
Handful of thorns
and you know you've missed it.
Lose your love
when you say the word 'mine.'"
