Under the sky before the streetlights smile
And I have to cover up my thoughts
Under the lukewarm love of our promises unworded
Unimagined, yet
Sing me the song I hum to you
Sing it back in your pebble-honey voice
How long will you make me wait?
I’m listening, waiting
Intently
Give me life
Drop by drop.
My ears tingle as I wait
For you, for you. For you to sing
And mean it.
Do you mean it? -Four words
That destroy the language coded by
Three other words:
I love you.
