My Love For You
I have so much love for you
It's filled up all the boxes in my closet
It's piled up in stacks on my desk
It's strewn about my floor and hung up on my walls with thumbtacks
I have so much love for you i don't know what to do with it
My heart is certainly too small to hold all of it
And my hands are always full of other things
Love has always been pushed to the side
But my parents tell me to clean my room
And i don't have a place to put my love for you
So im sewing it into my clothing and wearing it to school
Im writing it in the margins of my homework papers
Im tying it as my shoelaces and buttoning it as my coat
I have so much love for you
Its music is louder and more beautiful than a thousand concert halls
Its voice sings instead of talking, its feet dance instead of walking
Its house is a fort made of blankets and pillows
Its hands are our hands but without the calluses
Its face is our faces without the frown lines
It's made of poetry and Christmas and potato soup and the brightest colors in the paint aisle
I have so much love for you
If your hands are empty
I'd love for you to hold it
You might know what to do with it better than me
