I have a question
Do you love me?
I am sorry
That was dumb
When it gets late
Do you desire to hold me?
In your arms?
When you finally fall asleep
Am I the last face
You see in your mind?
Upon opening your eyes
In the morning
Am I like a flower blooming
Giving you reason to
Keep breathing?
If not
That is okay
I can not say
I feel that way
This could be just
A cruel test
To get you to shout your love
And put my selfish heart at rest
Though those feelings to you
I do or do not return
Even so
Answer my first question
I need to know
When an invite says plus one
You already are dialing
Me at home
Where I may or may not
Anxiously wait by the phone
So kindly answer
When the rain beats down on your roof
Do you wish it was me?
You were able to hold tight?
Because I may or may not desire
To hold you
When I catch a fright
Either way I need to know
The answer
To one question
Do you love me?
Please say yes
…and/or no
