su novio

i shuttered that night,
when i heard your words
"i love you but..."
i never heard the end
you might have seen it happen
i must have glowed i bet
not a blush, but a light within

i filled like a teacup
and overflowed its saucer
i never saw it coming
in my heart i ran

i danced and held my heart
delight could not describe
i never had imagined
a time i'd have, as this

i brought myself to now
back down from my cloud
shook my head and wondered
what else you had said

i knew it was suggestion
a focus on condition
of how i lived my life
the importance of decision

i had to want to change
to set and reach my goals
remember whats important
and find her there and then

i had belief she'd wait
patient. not unconscious
she had to break the silence
the elephant in the room

i've seen the lite she spoke of
and held it in my glass
my ship and land apart
i had a fighting chance

but i really want to remember
the effortless flight i took
when she said those words
"i love you, but..."
