things I have been thinking about
Time be time
Out of boredom, I could whisper I love you-
to you a thousand times.
You could smile back, sweetly, a million times.
Or, we might talk about the weather again,
or new places, or new people, or new toys.
But, if it's still in our hearts and heads like an evening shadow,
doubts about us can overcome what will tempt us tomorrow.
If you don't love me,
the way that I love you,
and want you to love me-
then we're just letting time be time-
and we need to get out of its way.
to you a thousand times.
