(i Wish Ya Knew) That I Love You Poem by Rich Downes

Sweet nothings under the old tree
You're everything I want you to be
Running low on my self-control
It's your heart I long to find and explore

You know it's feelings you can't ignore
You know it's instinct you won't ignore
Although I can be blue
(I wish ya knew) that I love you

I only tell you what's in my mind
Life can be one lonely ride
Sitting here face to face with a knife
You're the one I want to be precise

You know it's feelings you can't ignore
You know it's instinct you won't ignore
But I'm left blue
(I wish ya knew) that I love you

Nothing shows peace - like a dove
Nothing purer - than a dove
I only want something we can share
It's only love anyway

Oh tell me I'm wrong to feel hardcore
It's my heart that needs a restore
Let romance finally make a debut
Let love shine on its debut

Despite it's not incredibly new
(I wish ya knew) that I love you
