i want to read spanish poems to you

even though you won't understand what they say. 

you'll get it, 

feel the words in my voice, see them on my face. 

"quiero," in a tear

"amor," in a glance. 

i want to read spanish poems to you 

so i can tell you that i love you in more than one way. 

you'll know how much, 

en un beso,

en un respiro. 

i want to read spanish poems to you

and let Neruda speak for me. 

because words fail when i look into your eyes, 

te quiero

te amo.
