How might I ever recover...
...Now that I have felt your
sigh against my neck?
...Now that I have held you
closely in my dreams?
...Now that I have heard your
voice whisper softly to my heart.
How might I face the daylight...
...Knowing what the night
has in store for us?
...Knowing that the sun
will bring its own realities?
...Knowing that this may be real
and the day untrue?
How might I convince you...
...that your words are not mere echoes
from a heart filled with you?
...that if we chose to grant love a chance
we will never be the same?
...that there is no peril, no pain, no
anger that true-love cannot overcome?
Let us just hold each until the dawn
...and see if we're still here.
