Love Hopes

Standing in the street,
watching her house
as if it will walk to me.

My heart sits in my mouth,
waiting for this to happen,
in a matter of time.

I want to believe
she will walk above the pavements perfectly,
circle air like Saint Bernadette,
climb to my held breath,
then rain decides to fall
on my love hopes.
