I Would

I would like to memorize the way wrinkles form around your eyes as you widen your radiant smile.

I would like to trace the creases of your hand as you hold mine tight in yours.

I would like to run my fingers through your hair and comb through all your deepest pain.

I would like capture each of your fallen tears and cry each one for you.

I would like to collect all of your worries and strife and sew them to my heart.

I would like to understand the feelings that I feel and share them with the world.

I would like to feel you invading my soul as we breathe and move in harmony.

I would like to express each ounce of care I have for you and help you understand.

I would like to climb upon dozens of rooftops and sing of your wonder for all to hear.

I would like to grasp each soft word you have spoken and conceal them in my heart.

I would like to take your heart, and whisper the truth, about how deeply that I love you.
