i do love you (ou mais coisas bonitas de mim para ti)

it's been a long long time since i memorized your face 
it's been four hours now since i wandered through your place 
and when i sleep on your couch i feel very safe 
and when you bring the blankets i cover up my face 

i do 
love you 
i do 
love you 

and when you play guitar i listen to the strings plus 
the metal vibrates underneath your fingers 

and when you crochet i feel mesmerized and proud 
and don't say 'i love you' without saying it out loud 

it's hard, so i won't say it at all 
and i won't stay very long 
but you are the life i needed all along

(Quando a Arte versa sobre ti, penso que o Joyce acertou. Existem epifanias. Tu. A música em ti. A verdade dela.)
