I ask only this:

Tonight

Before you sleep

Please kiss

My photograph

And light the fire

That my desire

Requires of you.

I ask only this:

Try to understand

This land

Of dreams

In which I live

Would give

A ransom

For reality.

I ask only this:

While my head spins

And doubt begins

Take my heart

And start

To feed me courage

I am weak, and seek

Your reassurance.

I ask only this:

Know the love

I feel for you

Is true

And what is more

Know I adore

Everything

That is you.
