I sincerely hope you actually are Sharon Hopkins, since you're publishing her work without putting her name on it.
' Love wasâ
&& âlove will beâ if
(I, ever-faithful),
do wait, patiently;
ânegativeâ, âwordlyâ, values disappear,
@last, âlove triumphsâ;
join (hands, checkbooks),
pop champagne-corks,
âlive happily-ever-afterâ.
ânot soâ ?
tell me: âI listenâ,
(do-not-hear);
push (rush, hurry) && die lonely if not-careful;
âI will wait.â
