In English we say I miss you, In poetry we say my soul is fracturing without you, In English we say I want you, In poetry we say I'm smoldering with the embers of desire, Come here and fan them into flames, In English we say I'm feeling sad, In poetry we say the tears are flooding my eyes, And overflowing onto my pillow, In English we say I'm so happy, In poetry we say my joyous soul is singing in sweet harmony with everyone, In English we say I love you, In poetry we say since you came into my life there's a warmth that comforts my heart, In English we say my world is still spinning, In poetry we say my world is tilted the other way, And I hope it never rights itself
