Love If love asks me one more time I’ll pause before I answer I’ve learned how hope can tremble When it’s held too loosely I’ve learned the weight of silence How leaving can feel louder Than a door that never closed If love asks me one more time I won’t run toward the fire I’ll ask if it knows how to warm Without burning what I am I’ll ask if it stays when days are ordinary when hearts are unpoetic when forever looks like Any ordinary day If love asks me one more time I’ll say yes with my eyes open We’re not made of fairy tales We’re just real on the way But there’s magic when you say Darling, come over and stay
