Don’t you know?  
  
I long to feel the skin upon your face,  
The brush of whiskers nettled on your chin  
And when I reach to touch, you to embrace  
I find that I am forced to reach within  
  
For – don’t you know?  
  
I tremble all the day and all night long  
My body eager, vibrating as you strum  
The heartstrings of such a familiar song  
Your fingers not yet on flesh; still, for you I thrum  
  
And I cannot foresee another way  
Than dancing deeply in a world unknown  
So I will live and love another day  
That one day, maybe soon, this depth be shown  
  
That, maybe one day soon, I will be yours  
And you’ll be mine, in body too;  
That one day soon, we’ll dance through doors  
In ethereal worlds we’ll live, both I and you  
  
So, don’t you know?  
  
My heart is bound to yours and lost to me  
It’s yet my mind you kiss, that you must woo  
And I, lost forever in this fantasy  
Somehow made real, this life, by your love true  
  
And – you must know!  
  
Forever, in this time  
That you are yours, and also I am thine;  
That I belong to me, and you are mine!  
That we are ours, forever-love sublime
