Ernestine Northover - Because

You’re shaking because you don’t know
what I’m going to say.
I’m shaking because I do know what I’m
going to say.

I love you.

You shake my heart.

You’re swaying because you know now
what I was going to say.
I’m swaying because you know now what
I was going to say.

You sway my mind.

You’re delighting because of what I have said.
I’m delighting because of what I have said.

I love you, because

You delight my soul.
