Subtle Fever

i've been telling you
exactly how i feel
if only you would take the bait
and rise to the occasion
perhaps the tongue i use
to convey my passion
is foreign to you
if only i could reach you
i'd use body language to translate
meanwhile i'll dance the line
and think with fever
of the things i dare not speak
