How Many, Before?

How Many, Before?



How many times must I say “I love you

before you accept it as true?”

 

How much love must I reveal

before you know that it’s real?

 

How many games must we play

before we both pull away?

 

How many smiles can you paint on

before I sense that we are done?

 

How many whispers must I hear

before I believe my own ears?

 

How many cold kisses must we share

before I realize you don’t care?

 

How many lies will you tell me

before you say we can not be?

 

How many times must my heart be broken

before I utter the unspoken?
