Show, Don’t Tell

When the story’s over

I hope you’ll have the chance to know

just how much of what I’ve written

has been about you

Maybe by then you’ll understand

what it is I’m feeling here

I’m not clinging to you out of desperation

but out of a desire to share

as much of your life,

your world, and your time

as I possibly can

All these words I’ve spilled upon these pages

trying to wrap my head around

something that really is so simple

It’s love, no more, no less

Not hard to understand

but somehow I can’t get it right

no matter what I try

I can’t make it any clearer

but they say to show, not tell

so how is it that I can show you

what you actually mean to me

and why I miss you so much?
