How Can I Tell You

You say, "Be real for a minute." Be real for a minute?
Ok...I love you. But how can I tell you that when I don't know you?
How can I tell you I want to spend the rest of my life with you? 
No, eternity with you. How can I express that you make me
feel like a diabetic in a candy store. All these goodies
and I cant have any. Just one little taste of the 
sweetness to please my senses but 
I'll risk killing me. How can I explain that the 
reason I fall short of breath every time 
you come around is because your
 presence fills my lungs blocking off my air supply? 
How can I tell you? How do I let you know 
that the reason I suffer from severe insomnia is
 because my brain's activity is constantly running 
on thoughts and images of you? 
How can I tell you that when I do manage to fall asleep, 
my subconscious takes over 
telling me your the one meant for me? 
can I tell you? You want me to be real for a minute? Ok...I love you. 
But how can I allow you to see these 
things I think on a daily basis. 
Every minute of every hour of every day 
for the past year when I don't even know you. 
How can I tell you that my insides burn 
from the flames that you ignited in my heart? 
How can I tell you my soul feels as if its 
found its home and my spirit feels as if it needs you?
 How can I tell you time is nothing 
but an illusion when it is spent with you?
 It moves so fast when your here and so slow when you're gone. 
How can I tell you? How can I tell you that every
 little detail of you from the birthmark on 
your right sole of your foot, to the very 
slight stretch mark on the back of you left shoulder, 
is painted vividly in my mind so when 
you're not around I can still picture you 
perfectly and smile. 
How do I say to you that we are forever. 
That the sky and the heaven, 
the stars and the moon were made just for us. 
Every color that reflects off the sun 
and every light that shines can't compare 
to the beauty that I find in you. 
How can I tell you these things when I can't even tell myself. 
How can I tell you? 
How can I tell you? 
How can I tell you? 
You say, "Be real for a minute". Ok...I love you.
