Why I still ask

Sometimes I ask the most obvious and annoying questions, but that's only because I'm always eager to hear from her. It's good practice!

"You questioned why I asked
even if you thought I'd know
but it's one to ask the task
and another to be shallow

I ask these fine details
to pinch me in dreams
because I wouldn't want to miss
anything in that stream

Even when nothing is new
I would treat it just as due
for you are that scepter
I wouldn't want to lose

Though it may irritate you
my signature takes note
for I want to say I love you
in every twist and quote

So I hope you won't mind
If I greet you with sunshine
as I ask you on your slumber
even when you sleep at night

It's like a pulse for me
I'd panic without a beat
so please bear with me
in such loving quality

for love is restless
it's an insomniac too, you see
and it's best to daydream
and worry about the need
for if it wouldn't worry
then I wouldn't call it such...

I love you, okay?
Very very much..."
