Thee

I want to lie in your lap again, 
Because baby you were my safe haven.
Even though I'm home now,
This distance couldn't be more cold.

I have waited, waited, and I feel
My time will expire first.
Before you and I—speak,
Darling, the surging sea is calmer,
Warmer and livelier,
Than this heart thinking of thee. 

Do you wonder what could have been?
Do you think of me?
As I do of thee. 

Like the snake, coiling and slithering,
Like a madman—pacing uncomfortably,
This feeling becomes of me.
How can one then claim
Love loses—it fades
Like the scribbles on car windows,
On frosty winter nights.

All I know is thee,
And what our love could be.
