From my lips to yours

How can I tell you how beautiful you look today?
Directly? No, it can't be so
You'd think of me a dog, a scoundrel
And I only want you to think of me as highly as I think of you

I hope he told you how beautiful you look today
I hope he tells you how beautiful you look everyday

If he doesn't, give me a sign
Tell me with your eyes
Tell me with your smile

I've never let this go because I've only grown on you since we met
You look back to me for approval more and more as time passes
Approval of what?
Maybe of him, but I cannot oblige
Though, his shortcomings are brief, they are fatal in that he is not me

Somewhere in your mind you know this
Somewhere in your heart you feel this
Maybe for us to be together those two must be in rhythm,
But for now they are not

And it is now I wish time followed man,
So I could manipulate it, use it for me, use it for us
I wish to skip the part where I lay awake at night,
Hoping to crawl inside your room and just be there,
Even if you knew not I was with you,
I would be with you
I would take your dreams and bring them to life
I would whisper all that you are to me
I would whisper until I need not whisper anymore

For there is nothing I could say,
That couldn't be said better than our fingers intertwined
If I could give this to you, you could read it,
But the only way to truly send this message is from my lips to yours
