every
passing day
and

every day
breathlessly
lingering

these words
try to leap
from my lips

it's getting
harder
not to say

and when
I open to
your knock

the relief
makes my
knees weak

and when again
we part
at last

you leave me
with the
sweetest ache

you make sure
to leave
a space

for me to
feel you still
within

every day
passing
or standing still

it's getting
harder
not to say

the words
leaping from
my helpless lips:

I love you;
don't go away -
I want you to stay.
