I’m ready

I’ve made room

For all your unsent letters,

Your declarations of love,

And your declarations of war.

For your peace resolutions.

I’ve made room

For all the folded napkins

From the dinners we’ve never had.

For all the corks of champagne bottles

We’ve never opened.

I’ve made room

For all the red roses

In bouquets I’ve never hung to dry.

There is room in my heart for everything.

There is room in my heart for you.

You know?

No, you reply,

But I know you’ll tell me.
