I Wish You Were Mine


I wish you were mine
Though I may not be yours,
And I may, in my ignorance,
Be speaking to closed doors.





I have no inkling of your heart,
No hint what you might say;
But when I think of you the sun
Will just not go away.





There is in you a loveliness
That makes my darkness shine,
And so I'll wait, if wait I must,
For you to be mine.
