Come Morning

She would ask if I was crazy

You must be, she'd say, to love me

We would agree to disagree

On the grounds that I was thinking

The very same thing

She would ask me why I cared

No one has ever cared, she'd swear

No one has ever known me

I would give her my infinite reasons

And she would know to believe

She would ask if it was real

It can't be, she'd argue

Some wounds never heal

And I'd kiss her scars, as she laid in my arms

And tell her she had my heart

She would ask if I was leaving

You must be, she'd say

There's only so much time for dreams

I would lie at her side, and remind her that I

Would still be there come morning.
