Life's Longing For Itself

My body wants to get pregnant now
can I be pregnant and not know it yet

I wonder this as the sun dawns and sets
yeah, life is longing for itself

boy or girl
it doesn't matter

just a healthy one
to hold tight in mid August

oh, the angst
of the longing

a love child
in exchange for love

to nurture
to be a mother

to raise a child
I did it to get a baby out of it

secret's now
even Victoria Secret's could not tell...
