What could she possibly mean?

I don't understand what she truly desires.

What is her miracle question?

In a perfect world, that she'd find herself describing...

What would it all be like?

Would I be a character in her perfect world?

Or, would I be a green garnish shoved to the side or wrapped quickly in a napkin?

I'm not sure that I'll ever know one way or the other.

Do I have the capacity to swallow the truth of never knowing?

At least Time will sell me some apples at the street corner.

While I take my first bite of the fruit, I'll long to see her on the swing that dangles from The Tree of Life.
