Thoughts Too Early For Thursday

If you ~
hold me close
    carry me in your pocket
        sing me to sleep on Sunday
               wake me behind tomorrow
If you ~
               hold starry diamonds in highest esteem
        shuffle your feet when dreamless tears fall
    chuckle when I speak as I write
do your algebra homework
If you ~
look beneath what your eyes
    tell you
        tell me your truth as though I already
            know
If you are who I see,
    I am yours.
