“In My Words” (acousitc/live)
Te’ V. Smith
“Tell her I like the way that she stands.
Tell her sits like the world is waiting for her.
Tell her I could kiss her shoulder blades til the wings come.
Tell her because she soars to me, as if the heavens blew her past.
Tell her she has big eyes.
Tell her I think that’s cool.
Tell her i want to paint her roses
And pay her canvas compliments.
Tell her something like
The sun shines twice when i see her.
And even in my darkest moments, she has my favorite moonlit face.
Tell her if she’s disbelieving of undefined love poems,
I’d write her name over and over, until she finds the heart in it.
At the very least, I’d be in it.
Tell her I cooked for her.
Tell her seriously, I cooked.
Tell her hands are bravest when held together.
So tell her she can find herself in me.
And if she finds herself with me, I promise not to get in the way.
Tell her I said that she’s gorgeous.
Tell her I know she knows it already.
Tell her I like her ass.
Tell her I like her heart more.
Tell her I like that she’s me.
Tell her I like that she’s her.
Tell her. For me.”
