your voice against my lips
I feel my need
tease this hope,
this delicacy of sweet suggestions
tenderly,
dare I believe
again...

or heed that other voice
that never leaves
relentless,
silly girl, please ...

I wanted to know you
by my side
to greet each new dawn and bring in the night sighs,
oh! how glorious
I can only imagine
as I lay here
quiet,
beside myself
pondering the reasons
looking over the questions
I never bothered to answer ...

years slide around
faster and faster
we travel towards our final destination,
I have noticed
I am riding alone
watching,
as always
why ...
