I am excited to see you, as you know

If you find strength, hope enough to return to my home


you will discover I have chosen solitude over seduction - must have grown


unfearing to tell that I am in love - hallowing, sanctifying for us this space


that when you declare you love me again, it will have been worth the wait.
