Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Take Your Time

To hear from you your love I yearned,

But if you say you love me not,

Indeed would be a truth that burned,

So such a truth should not be sought

By me until I know for sure

Your love for me is indeed true.

I wish these words from you occur,

And will just wait until they do.

When you are ready to speak of

The feeling that you have for me,

And should I hear that me you love,

Oh, the happiest I will be.

But while I wait I say indeed

Your silence is such a slow bleed.
