Tell me would you please
what’s on your mind and in your heart
how the winter feels on your face and hands
what you recall of sunshine from the start,
of days too young to trace out plans.

Tell me if you could
what makes you smile and what’s no good
what you need to be safe and sure
what I could ever say that ever could
make you glad to the core
that we met

Tell me please if there is a way
for me to treat you right.
