Assure me your smile is not just a tease
A mere mirage in my desert of needs
You speak with your touch a language I know
So my puzzled heart flares a curative glow
Our romance dawned with the desert sun
Awakening, vibrant, beaming, sudden
Vows written in sand on a gusty day
Perhaps to you were quickly erased
I gathered the grains before they blew away
Cached in an hourglass where they forever remain
When the sand drains I turn it over again
Confined in perpetual limbo of affection
My hope of repairing our abandoned fondness
Undulates with my breath, mercurial, will-less
My promise adheres to an intrinsic endurance
To appease a heart so blind, eyes so desirous
Though I worry this faith is too good to be true
You never gave me reason not to wait for you
