Writer's block

Writer's Block

My pencil hovers on the page.
My mind is filled with you.
My heart desires to engage
In writing something new.

I search for meter and for rhyme
To tell you how I feel -
How though we two have spent some time
I can't believe it's real.

We live so many miles apart,
And yet, here we both are.
I never dreamed that we could start
But now we've traveled far.

I want to write my heart to you.
I want my words to sing,
But "I love you" will have to do
To tell you everything.
