You asked me
what do I want you to do now?
And though  I shrugged and
kept quiet in your presence
I can tell you here and now:
I want you to leave him so far
behind that you will never look back.
I want you to tell me you can bear
the aftermath as long as you have me.
I want you to tell me
that this isn't an ill-fated affair,
a little excitement for you,
a rebound fling for me,
no, I want this to be so real
that my innate fear of marriage
and children will evaporate
under the heat of your eyes.
I want you unbound, unfettered and
free,
I want you to come to me.
