If loving like this is a crime --
and I DO get the rush of feeling
as though I've been found out
in something very daring --
then which of us in the criminal,
and which heart is the accomplice??
Both of us literally "have nothing to hide"
when we stand so close together before falling.
And I depend on you to be my warm haven
and refuge from the bitter world --
which will never understand us --
and my tongue and lips can only adore you.
You evoke such a boiling flow of praise
from my heart and mind, that I am overcome,
so unworthy of such wonderful and complete love!
