How can I ever *not* be disappointed  
When every car passes, not handled by you?

How can I ever not be disappointed  
By any single evening not spent through-and-through?

How can I ever not be disappointed  
In any conversation not ending in endless kisses?

How can I ever not be disappointed  
In any less than forever-in-blisses?

How can I want  
Any less than you

When you fail to disappoint me  
In times hardest or best, as you do?

If the sky never disappoints  
In its every shade of white, grey, black or blue;

Each raindrop falls as beautifully, necessarily true  
Any rainbow’s magic alights the once-stormy sky;

Any sunny day beats rays upon our skin as clouds drift by;  
Any winter night decorated with miraculous, falling snow,

How could you ever disappoint me  
When you are all I ever want to know?

For then:

A car arrives in the midst of lovely reveries;  
And this evening is not mine but belongs only to he;  
Our conversation’s reward is a few tender kisses;  
Heartfelt embraces end too soon and all my heart, he misses

Still, I am not disappointed  
Because of you;  
Because I love you  
Because of you.
