Cherish is the word I use to describe

all the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside.

You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you.

You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you.

You don't know how many times I've wished that I could

mold you into someone who could

Cherish me as much as I Cherish you.

Perish is the word that more than applies

to the hope in my heart each time I realize

that I am not going to be the one to share your dreams.

That I am not going to be the one to share your schemes.

That I am not going to be the one to share what

seems to be the life that you could

Cherish as much as I do yours.

Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found

the words that could make you want me.

That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound

that could make you hear, make you see

that you are driving me out of my mind.

Cherish is the word...

And I do cherish you.

And I do...

LOVE YOU!
