you get this beautiful expression
wait, 'this' is singular- you get THESE beautiful expressions,
on your beautiful face, all the time. more recently
there's been that one, kind of playfully suspicious
and your smile has gotten more and more dazzling
daily. and there's that other one with the sleepy eyes
like 'I don't have time for this' when really,
I can tell you care. and maybe I'll be able to stop loving you,
but the chances of that happening are slim to none.
I'll stay here, be who I am, love you tenderly,
tenderly enough so one day you'll
fall in love with me too.
Not sure how you feel now, not sure where to go...
so, for now, I wait.
let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you. (Psalm 25:21)
