Haven

 
Your sly hands,
eager to tickle, pinch, and play;

all I have to do is say 'yes',
and they'd be mine.


Your mischievous grin,
which says you love to break the rules;

all I have to do is say 'yes',
and it'd be mine.


Your upturned eyes,
shining with teasing mirth;

all I have to do is say 'yes',
and they'd be mine.


Your shaking breath,
ragged with overwhelming laughter;

all I have to do is say 'yes'
and it'd be mine.


All I have to do is say 'yes'.


All I have to do...


The possibility is staggering,
dizzying, and intoxicating.


The thought of my lips
on all of you...


In so many ways
we would be each others' firsts.


You would always remember me,
despite how short a time we'd have...


and all I have to do...


All I have to do...


...yes.
yes.
Yes!


I'm at work;
come to me.


Every person who isn't you is a disappointment.


I'm at work;
come to me

and I'll tell you

yes.


My mind spins with thoughts of you.

Yes!


My mind spins as I plan for you.

Yes!


And as if summoned,
you come to me;

all I have to do is say 'yes',
and you'll be mine.


I take your sly hand
(yes),

you give me your mischievous grin
(yes),

you look to me with upturned eyes
(yes),

your breath is even, and sure
(yes),


...and I let you go.


And I tell you no.


You look so sad,
but I tell you no.


I silently scream in anguish,
but I tell you no,

and I let you go.
