I Know

i know what you want to hear from me
after tonight
after i untangle my arms around you
after i take away my lips from yours
after i hide my tongue
i know what you want me to utter
after tonight
when the stars fade away
when the darkness hovers again like a giant
black bird
when there is nothing left between us
i know what i can still afford to say:

i love you.
