Devotion No. 1

I can’t lie to you

Even if I wanted to

It contradicts the way I love you

I couldn’t leave you

For any reason at all

I would make it sixteen steps

Before I crumbled to the ground

I don’t know how all this will end

But I hope it is with you

Even if that’s not to be

If a separation comes

And we drift apart somehow

Nothing will ever change the fact

That I will love you

Until my dying day

I will be here

As long as you will let me

My heart is tied to yours

Bound to bend

With your changing winds

And break against your shore

My waves tidal

In the ebb and flow of you
