Image for the poem Can I Love You

Can I Love You

Can I paint a picture of you with words of love?
I don't wish to make you love me but to love my words, for they are true.                         I'll never love you the right way, maybe I'm falling in love, but maybe I'm just a writer with the right words to say.

I saw you the other day, in the picture you painted with your words,
A mixture of colors bright, dark and everything in between.
Much like how the love in your words confuses you, the pictures you paint are vivid and make sense,
The love you can give is real and its true.

Because with these words, I only show how much I feel.
The truth between the strings of sentences I put together are like the frame that holds the picture forever.
The emotions are simply the heartfelt touch of the paint brush that helps you understand that though every stroke may seem perfect.
I'm merely just a woman, but can I love you?

Can I be certain that if I fall, even if you can't catch me, you'll fall with me
and we'll let this pan out how we both want it to be.

I never feel its enough.
Can I Love you?
