Our World Awaits

There is not much more I can do
I know you would worry if you knew

I spend my days in reverie
I spend my nights in longing
I spend my mornings crying

There is not much more I can do
without you,

I must dream every day together
must conjure every kiss, forever
and every tender touch

I must evoke every quiet moment
spent under trees,
watching glistening leaves

I must make everything alone

It takes my time, and patience, and trust in myself
It takes my energy and faith in you
It takes copious amounts of love
and imagination that you love me, too

It takes everything in me,
to make what I make true

There is not much more I can do
without you

As you are not here
As you withdraw from me
As you attempt to shield me, in your care
As you try to hide yourself and flee

There is not much more I can do

And there is nothing I can do
well
except love

so, I love you
