why

part of why each of us is scared
from time to time, baby,
is because as deep as our love runs,
we do not know where it will take us;
and I pray that we can exist
just like this;
and if I believed in magic, like you do,
that you could, sometimes,
leave there, and come here,
and we could at last
be together;
alas, I do not think that such
can ever be so;
but I love you so,
that I wish that wishing
could make it so.



July 24, 2009, for the Wifey.
