AN EVERLASTING WANT, NEED, HELD AT BAY

I HAVE NEVER LOST THE ABILITY
JUST HELD CLOSE MY HEART FOR ONCE

TO PEER AFRAID, TO PEER ANEW, WHAT MAYBE?

THIS DISTANT VIEW, WHAT SOMETIMES NEW, SHALL I WANDER?
IT IS COMFORTABLE HERE, THIS ME

I COULD, MAYBE, SHARE, IN LITTLE WAYS HERE AND THERE
WHAT I FIND IN YOU ADORABLE.

AND I DO FIND YOU ADORABLE --COMPLETELY

HELD CLOSE HEARTS RECOGNISE EACH OTHER HERE AND THERE

IT IS OKAY TO BE AFTER ALL

TO HOLD ONE'S LOVE

AND GIVE IT ONCE AGE VISIONS

IN THE END, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO SAY..

I LOVE YOU TO THE DEPTH AND BREATH OF MY SOUL.
I NEED YOU AND YOU NEED ME AND WE ARE.

THEN, SAY IT, LOUD, DANCE IT
AND
AFTER THAT
I WILL SHOW YOU
AND YOU WILL TEACH ME
