I heard your protest
those two letters singing in my ears
your proclamations cut through my clothes
and left me
****
**** on the cold hard ground
but my heart didn't grasp the meaning
my brain could not compute
I had to get back up
and embrace your person
and although you pulled away
although you thought of him
you always thought of me
when you kissed me back
and ran into my open arms
with persistence I believe
your eyes will open up
you'll see the bright new future
the one you have in me
maybe you'll regret
someday in the forthcoming winters
thoughts blooming with the spring flowers
but never that you left him
only that you did not do it sooner
and I will kiss you on the forehead
and whisper
in your ear
that is doesn't matter
as long as ,now, your here
