Darling, if you could forgive

what fear does to me

we could talk for another night

and I'll tell you why

my love is so swift.

So darling don't weep

don't shed your tears 

don't beg for me to stay

for I can't be contained

by such a tender play.

I remember that peaceful night

When you asked me

Who will you be?

while staring with such anticipation

that I didn't care

if your answer wouldn't fit me

I remember it

howling through the night

the earthquake's cry

before it all began

screaming, screeching

from the deepest soul of the earth.

I thought it was calling my name

to sweep me away,

and it was me it was searching for

pleading to be followed along

and so tender was its lament

promising a sweet descent

I said I wouldn't come

as I wasn't ready to be buried whole.

Darling, there was a time

when you were my love

but I pushed it ashore

for I could not comply

with its tender rule,

couldn't bear to loose my knots.
