You Don't Have To Say You Love Me Poem by Vonnie Postit

you don't have to say you love me
just be closer then
you don't have to stay forever
i will understand
believe me
oh, believe me

the first time you held my hand
you told me you did not believe in glue
or the power of paper.
i know there are still thousands of kisses
and tongue talking with mouth words, crankiness
(yours or mine)
but i can't help but feel
you walk out the door as if it's a warm up.
i do not intend to tell you i love you but
when the sun hits you right
it makes me feel daring.
i will not have regrets

you don't have to say you love me,
just be closer then.
you don't have to stay forever,
i will understand.
believe me,
oh, believe me.

waiting in your bed i'm thinking about
your cute feet.
i wonder if you hear me when i squeeze
your hand or kiss your ears.
i spend all day talking but i wonder if you hear my lips.
i have begun saying goodbye to you
from the first time you called me love,
i know it can never be more than semi permanent ink.

you don't have to say you love me
just be closer then
you don't have to stay forever
i will understand
believe me,
oh, believe me
