To Bide Her Time

Love came again to bide her time 
To sit upon the swing and gaze 
To run a hand through my hair 
Many little bells caress my spine 

She wore a dress to match her eyes
As kingdoms fall and states divide
So does my breath against my hand 
Tremble here with heavy quaking sighs 

I know I give myself too fast to her 
But oceans pull and do not compromise  
The choice will rest with me no longer
A life without this I shall not endure
