Today it may sting for the short term, tomorrow will still
But leave me salted and preserved in thoughts of you
Thoughts of ... us
Safeguard me here for the day of your awakened hunger
Rather this than be chewed up and spat out by another
Who only seeks the short term satisfaction of my body
My heart, soul, mind … all that I am or will be, is yours
So let the salt drain away the nourishing water of you for now
Ready to be re-hydrated by your love in days or years to come
I will happily sit and wait until that day you reopen my heart
Unless consumed by her boundless fire, better I go to waste
