You

When I think of you
I am between
sleep and awake
where I remember

dreaming of
you...

I have seen
the best of you
worst of you
still

I choose
both...

You know me
the one me
I know you
all of you

tame me
tenderly...

Then I shall be
unique to you
and like flowers
in a field

We shall be
side by side
in beautiful hues...
