When was the last time,
someone whispered in you ear,
unsolicited affection,
a message oh so clear?
Or reached out for your hand,
and took hold of your heart,
and kept their promise to look after it,
every time you were apart?
And what about the goosebumps,
you would get from time to time,
when you reread those old letters,
that came with love in every line?
When was the last time,
you felt your heart would burst?
Tell me what does all that feel like?
I'm still waiting for the first.
