Santa Barbara
How long 'til we know
How long do we wait
For if the longing and burden
of joining hands and pressing our lips
together
should ever be unrequited
or our soul and heart not
ever breathe the same breath
Those aches
and the absence of you
living with mere thoughts
of what could be true
Would that be more blissful
than playing toesies under a blanket
warm
wrapped in the smolder of a crackling fire
sparsley interrupted by the quite fall
of heavy snow
How long 'til we know
Should it be endless my dear
Shall sorrow be cheer
with all fires gone out
& heaven's refreshment be still
will that darkness do
No me
No you
How long do we wait
What if I said 'til time disappear
Would you smile at that
the thought that you're held so dear
How long do you wait
To ever hold the hand
of whose lover's heart
None can depart
from waiting for you
