I Can't Tell Poem by Mahfooz Ali

So close to you I was tonight
I can't describe how very light
how very light you make me feel
I have this overwhelming zeal
to share with you all of this thing
that simply makes me want to sing
when I am with you, the past gone
you give to me a brand new dawn
you make the pain just slip away
all that you do, just liberates
you free my heart of all the pain
you make me feel so very sane
and yet madly in love with you
what is a boy supposed to do
such love for you I feel inside
I fear much longer I can't hide
my love, it is so very strong
I cannot hold it very long
so soon, my love, you will know me well
so soon, my love, you will be mine
but how soon,
I cannot tell.
