I love you and
I do love you
and I say it

would you say

I Would Say
by
Jillian Gogel
Well,
I would say,
and
I would say it loud,
I
would be proud,
I
would say that there's no hurry,
and
really no need to worry.
I'd
say we should rest
because
that'd be best,
And
I'd want you to know
that
I'm not gonna go;
(is
that a curse or blessing?
I
hope not a wound that needs dressing.)
But
always I would pray
that
maybe soon someday
we
would sit and discuss
that
which we must.
Is
it not a shame
for
either one to take the blame,
that
we must play this game,
or
if we lose our aim?
I'd
know life would be fine
with
someone so divine,
And
I'd hope to prove it true
that
we would make it through.
I
would say to you,
darling,
you're stuck to me like glue.
"I'm here with my confession
Got nothing to hide no more
I don't know where to start
But to show you the shape of my heart"
