I love to try

to figure your out

Every other thought

is of you

You can be the only person

who exists to me

I promise

I won't

Devious mysterious delerious

Spark heaved into dry dust

Oh, don't fret

Dear pet

Dear Lover,

I want to walk in the cool water.

I want to feel the wet sand between my toes.

I want to be the sound, the breeze, the whisper.

Dear Lover Dear Lover

Why do you leave?

In the morning you are gone

You leave me here in bed

dear lover

the time has come

for our goodbyes

i loved you

and will continue to do so

We've been together

for so long

through the good
