I sent you a sonnet
|
I stole from a woman
|
Who shared all my fears
|
You'll never imagine the courage it cost me
|
To wait out the years
|
Knowing that time was against ever meeting you
|
|
Loving you still for your songs
|
Trusting the truth of the lyrics
|
I've learned from you
|
Wishing on stars and singing on street corners
|
Hoping that you'd come along
|
|
And if you should hear this don't
|
feel obligations to answer these lines
|
I'm happy just knowing I've
|
told you I love you within these poor rhymes
|
|
Portuguese sonnets and second hand songwriters
|
sending you fan-letter love cannot express
|
all the beauty I see in you
|
Found in your words,
|
Locked in your songs
|
are the feelings that I'm singing of.
