curious look

The look on your face alone
is one I wish I could see,
to compare with the look
on your face when you're
with me. I know,

I probably don't want
to know,
really.

There's always a risk to
comparison. There's always
the chance you won't like
to learn - but if ignorance

as they say, is bliss

I have more than most to burn,
where you're

concerned. I will never

stop knowing you, and getting
to know, not willingly. So long

as we do not say "so long,"

I will treasure your every privacy

that you care to share,

and respect the rest. Entirely
yours, what you give and bring
- so becoming mine, to be blessed
and kept. But I wish

I could see the look on your face,
when I'm stumbling, trying
and saying such things
as these. I know

if I could,
I'd find the way
so much easier through,
I could go on my knees.
