Would you

could you

should you

make me feel alive

and

grace me

without further heed of

my advice

and

should you

could you

promise to

one day make

me an honest woman

as I do the same

I'll have you know

the offer still stands

till time quits

its lynching of reality

so

should I

would I

could I

give to you something

special beyond compare?


Come now,

walk with me

through the forest

so tranquil

and

so fair

so I may tell you

of my contemplation

of years later,

I'd like to say

some things

but I will keep them

to myself

until we understand one another

more than now

so should I ask

I hope you comply

so we can end

this bout of missing

and misery,

stay by

my side,

always

dear love of mine,

these things,

Promise.
