I remember waiting
Heart fluttering in your chest
You were my wish
I blew out the candles
You tasted sweeter than water dripping from pine trees
Working up courage to touch you
I don't care about burns
Smoke is the uncertainty of the night
I search for you in the dark just the same
Crickets are chirping
My ears have forgotten the earth knows humble prayers
Devout she is in her offering
May I be as delighted in my love for you
