I sit back And my heart is warm Physically Like the heater in his car. And I cannot, though it feels so good I cannot stand it. If I could pick my infinity Any moment to live forever Moments from today would be high on the list Because nothing turned it bitter I would most prefer The last hour in the almost-dark A moment from that would be beautiful The soft reek of dog food and dogs themselves Watching him work with the broad head Of a Lab under my hand Would be wonderful. But I know what I want most. I want the infinity of those kisses. His lips softer than I thought They always are, somehow His warmth and his THERENESS I want that to be for me. And I know I can't have it, I know He cannot Love Me. But this was by mutual agreement. I signed myself over to confusion As did he, but I can't Help but feel That I long for More. I sit Lean and trembling And I want any part of my day with him To be forever. I love the sweetness of the coffee Though it was too much Because of the smile In his eyes I love his understanding Of so much My wants and my feelings And I know I will not find this elsewhere But it's like I promised Not to give my heart and I know If I did he would not take it. Though he will hold me, and kiss me and That Is enough.
