I don’t want to write that I love you
Or that you make my life complete
I don’t want to write that I wish we weren’t apart
Or that your smile brings joy to my heart
No pen put to paper
In love-borne inspiration
I shouldn’t need to tell you that I care
Or how grateful I am for the love we share
No grandiose displays of affection
No need to inscribe the trials of our relationship
I needn’t write that we’re such close lovers
Or that we aren’t fully understood by others
No, my darling, in a perfect world these things wouldn’t be
For I would have no need for written words
If you were here with me
Alas, it is not yet so
As such I will make lemonade of lemons
And hope that, in spite of the separation, you know
That every loving word I write is true
That I am working towards reuniting us
And that I will always be devoted to you
Or that you make my life complete
I don’t want to write that I wish we weren’t apart
Or that your smile brings joy to my heart
No pen put to paper
In love-borne inspiration
I shouldn’t need to tell you that I care
Or how grateful I am for the love we share
No grandiose displays of affection
No need to inscribe the trials of our relationship
I needn’t write that we’re such close lovers
Or that we aren’t fully understood by others
No, my darling, in a perfect world these things wouldn’t be
For I would have no need for written words
If you were here with me
Alas, it is not yet so
As such I will make lemonade of lemons
And hope that, in spite of the separation, you know
That every loving word I write is true
That I am working towards reuniting us
And that I will always be devoted to you
