dead honesty

on my island

he looks into my eyes

and tells me he loves me.

on my island

he makes love to me

and its not just ***

on my island

he dreams of me in white

and calling me wife

on my island

he wonders how he can make me happy

beyond dinner or lunch

on my island

he is proud of me

as his partner, not his friend

on my island

his parents like me

and even know my name

on my island

he looks at houses as he drives by

and imagines us living there

on my island

there are no maybes

 

but there is no island

there is no dream

there is no feeling other than this

 

how do arrange this

so my heart understands
