Yes, love, I know… It’s alright. Yes, love, I know
It’s hard
For both of us… My wanting
Needing
Hoping
Waiting Almost seeming to be baiting.
As I reach out in a way
That fills you
With fear. It’s alright,
Runner man, it’s okay
Yes, I know
You’ll stay.
While you can. Then you’ll go
And I’ll grow
And I’ll cry for a while…
Ssshhh….
It’s okay. I know you’ll stay. It’s all right, darling
Smile.
I shan’t get you lost
In a life that you dread.
As visions of wedding rings dance in your head.
