Is it over yet?
Can we come out now and be -
Be like we once were?
Fear doth make me stay
Safely tucked inside, and wait.
Wait for better days.
My heart wants a hug
But fear pulls my reaching arms
Back across my chest.
My heart leaps for joy;
My loved one is now so near!
Only eyes may kiss.
I looked in his eyes
As, breathing his last; "Be happy,"
He told me, and died.
