The intensity of this fire scares me,
how many times must I hide you in my words
before the letters bleed out and spell your name?
How many nights will I spend lost in the thought of you,
until the sheets memorize your touch before you've even arrived?

How many days, months, or years
must I count to feel your skin against mine?
Will my heart sing every song it knows,
until the universe finally understands
that...
