It's only words

Here is to all the emotional wrecks

Looking at sunsets and crying.

Here's to all the hopeless romantics 

Not knowing how to speak about love.

Here's to all those, who always feel like words just don't mean enough.

Words are never enough. 

I can't tell you how my heart burned 

Every time I saw the sun burn the evening sky.

Or that time when my breath got caught in my throat 

When that rainbow appeared in the sky.

My brain stops functioning every time I smell my favorite drink.

And sometimes, when I finally work up the courage

Try and explain what it feels like, 

I feel like everything I say comes out wrong.

Sometimes, I'm afraid that no matter what I write about, 

No matter how I word it, 

You will never know what I felt like in that instance

Because they are only words. 

And words never suffice.
