You just wait.
Soon,
lovers all over the world
will be reciting poems
dedicated to you.
This is my promise.

What happens when I love,
you ask, does the world start
making sense?
No, my dear, it does not.
But it won’t matter to you then.

When you are
here,
God is
near.

Fell in love first,
Fell in love quickly—Like I was pushed.
Fell in love next,
Fell in love slowly—Like I was strolling.
Falling in love now
And feeling crazy.
Thinking of closing my eyes
And jumping.

I wonder
if you ever read my poems
and wish
they were written
for you.

Take me when I'm wild.
Take me when I'm free.
Take me for me
and I will take you
as you want to be.
