Not enough


from the ABC set A

Not enough

You could be faithful forever.
Not wish for a different lover.
Avoid nightclubs, shun trendy pubs
Avert your eyes when they whistle.
.

When you sleep, dream of me only.
If I die, rather be lonely,
Than share our bed with another.
But your past is strewn with lovers.
And that's not enough.

I can smell your breath, like warm straw.
Know every curve, every contour.
Predict your words. Cherish your moods.
Hold you, as your world falls apart.

Hate what you value above me.
Break, if you no longer love me.
Wrap my whole self around you,
But not as close as I'd like to,
And that's not enough.
