ALWAYS BEFORE
THERE WAS HOLDING BACK
DON'T SHOW YOUR LOVE TOO MUCH
OR HE WILL RUN AWAY.
GIVE THE WORDS LIKE LITTLE GIFTS
& NEVER SAY I LOVE YOU
TOO SOON, TOO SOON.
BUT I HEAPED YOU WITH LOVE
AND YOU KEPT ON COMING BACK.
& I TALKED & TALKED & TALKED
AND YOU KEPT ON TALKING BACK.
& I HEAPED MY LOVE ON YOU
AND YOU KEPT ON HEAPING YOURS.
WHAT DID WE THINK WE WERE HOLDING
BY HOLDING BACK??
WHY DID WE THINK IT SAFE
TO HOARD OUR LOVE?
THE CORNUCOPIA RETURNS
UPON ITSELF.
THE FRUITS FALL OUT.
WE EAT THEM
AND THEY GROW.

WE MAY GIVE WITHOUT LOVING, BUT
WE CANNOT LOVE
WITHOUT GIVING
