Say it ain't so

I can't
whisper the words
even to myself

Disbelief
gratefulness
utter
inner
profound
fill up the pit
bottomless
hopefulness
all at
o
n
c
e

Finally....
possibly?
Really?

Never
believed
it would happen
again
not again
but
m
a
y
b
e
truly
afraid to say
it ain't so
for the first time

That
LOVE?
L
O
V
E
could
come
here
now
true

What if?
...I'm dreaming
then as said
before
don't wake me
I want to stay
in this sleep
f

r

v

r
or die happy
at this very
moment
