Love Letter 268 Culture Shock

I always want to be in love with you

and this is such a test

for all you give to me

I am like a child at an amusement park
wanting to try all the rides

I wait in line

a long time

for seconds of fun

I let the cotton candy
melt on my tongue

I run
from ride
to ride
waiting in long lines
for seconds of fun

and I do this

relentlessly

out of breath
and ready for bed
still, somewhat dizzy

I forget
You
have given me
my life

Oh, Opera in the Distance
Keep Singing
...for you will awaken me
one day

Your Beloved
