I would confess my love to you again and again;  
It’s not going anywhere…

Even when I fall in love again,  
Even when you leave…

*“You are the only one…”*

… who ever looked at me that way,  
… who ever stared at me that way,  
… who never loved me that way,  
… who never let me get away…

*“… ’Cause you are mine and I am yours,* 
*“Let’s not fuck around…”*

You, your friends and I,  
our rhythms intertwined,  
our depths married helplessly,  
our knowing eyes seeing:

We are not the blind masses.  
We are not the unfeeling things

Who see nothing but work,  
Who feel nothing but theory;

We are the ones who make life;  
We are the ones who enact dreams maniacally.

Yet, you sit.

Waiting…

… for the ether…

… in the ether.
