Trying

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Trying
#25
Can I try
To show you I love you
I could try
To show you that I care
Can I try
To mend your broken heart
Can I try
To love you even more
I could try
Only if you let me
I could try
To become someone else
Can I try
To change my character
I could try
Only if you let me
Can we try
To strengthen our marriage/friendship
I could try
To become a witness/best friend
I could try
If you could do the same

P.s.Have I told you that I love you
                                            Today?
      Have I told you how much I care,
                                            Today?
