In truth, I said
“I love you.”
Didn’t lie; Hidden, I
Caught upon a fear, too.
In fact, you were
Beyond me.
Simple thing: I had no ringing
In my ears, see.
In deed, we touched
The right way.
Right for us, but righteousness
Holds more enduring sway.
In love, a course
Was drawn out.
A cynosure, a flick’ring lure,
And disallowing doubt.
In fault, was I,
As you, when,
Fledgling sailors, we set forth
Amid capricious winds.
