those last few words
the last that i heard
gave me such relief and delight
you spoke to me
so tenderly
of giving yourself up in the night
oh, how I drank you up
sheer blouse to keep cool from the heat
dark hair pulled back from your face
so lovely
this woman
emboldening me
you were the first to say
i don't have to be scared
that you are all in for me
that you are my girl
and on the eve of my trip to the west
i feel ready to say the words
the ones that men dream of speaking
heart pounding, brow sweating
all a bundle of nerves
oh, this humble girl
so strange vivacious and kind
she touches me like no one else I've known
I've waited for you
all of my life
but it's so strange to me
how you trust so soon
and it's so sad to you
i didn't know till the month of june
how to say
these last few words of mine
and this very night i swear to you all my love
before i go
and a part of me will be left behind but I can wait
for more
'cuz i know now after almost forty years what I
had been waiting for
and please, from your lips just one more kiss
before I head out that door
