With Eyes Closed

There is no quiet from lips with expectations
Plotting ways to speak these parting things
Easier to sing
With eyes closed
To strangers

Nor is there rest for such a mind busy yearning
That anticipates this very day
Warmth beyond a dream
With eyes closed
Of my love

But I'm keeping my eyes open
When I get to kiss you next
When I kiss you with eyes closed
I'm afraid I may forget
