’ Love was’
&& ‘love will be’ if
(I, ever-faithful),
do wait, patiently;
“negative”, “wordly”, values disappear,
@last, ‘love triumphs’;
join (hands, checkbooks),
pop champagne-corks,
“live happily-ever-after”.
“not so” ?
tell me: “I listen”,
(do-not-hear);
push (rush, hurry) && die lonely if not-careful;
“I will wait.”
