It's been a long, long time since
I've memorized your face
It's been four hours now since
I've wandered through your place
And when I sleep on your couch
I feel very safe
And when you bring the blankets
I cover up my face
I do love you
I do love you
And when you play guitar I listen
To the strings plus
The metal vibrates underneath
Your fingers
And when you crochet
I feel mesmerized and proud
And don't say 'I love you'
With saying it out loud
It's hard so I won't say it at all
And I won't stay very long
But you are the life I needed all along
I think of you as my brother
Although that sounds dumb
And words are futile devices
