I wait for you and do not move

I wait for you and do not move
my lips as you pass and go.
I cannot say how I am in love

because there is something else that you have,
and so my time spirals away as
I wait for you and do not move.

Days without you are dry as the sun
and barren as concrete in summer.
I cannot say how I am in love

because it would crash into you like a wave
and threaten to surround all you are, so
I wait for you and do not move.

I spin with words I want to give you.
I boil and seethe at the space when you go.
I cannot say how I am in love.

While I have breath I will wait for the clouds
to burn slowly or break and reveal your day.
I wait for you and do not move.
I cannot say how I am in love.
