When it's time to love you,
You go away,
Are you embarrassed?
Or too ashamed?
I've told my feelings, not to see this day.
If you're worried about upsetting me,
You don't need to sway
I've been broken one too many times,
I've gone numb Anyway.

Did someone scatter cornflakes
All over the ground?
Or some kind of cereal
With a crunchy sound?

When walking on the grass
There's a snap, crackle, and pop,
The dry summer's drought
Just doesn't seem to stop.

Lawns all around
Look about the same,
All turning brown
While waiting for the rain.

August 21, 1993

I believe in something
for the first time.
Love! I believe in love,
and that's the beginning
of you and me.
