I find my happiness in loving you. Though my love is not returned, I don't mind waiting. The woods are a cathedral where I pray For the beauty and grace that lie within my heart. You hold me and we kiss, and yet not yet Is there the unity that love must crave. You want me, but not as I want you: This truth is like a wreckage on my sea. There's no one else I hunger for, nor touch That makes me feel I must take off my skin; And so I'll wait as years pile up like leaves, And long with the lonely patience of the moon.
