My love for you can’t be hidden
It screams itself hoarse every day
And you don’t seem to mind hearing it.
Strange.
As long as I don’t plea for yours
But when we’re together
And I can see your eyes
And feel the touch of your hand
And hear your laughter mingled with mine
And smell your skin
And taste your lips
I can forget
For just a little while
That you’ll never love me
For just a little while
You can be the warm, giving
Responsive lover and feed my soul
And I can drink it in
Better than Bacchus in drunken revelry
For just a little while
