Our Love Is Purer Poem by Annie Cordelia Adams

I'll love you
if the sun breaks down
and we live in dark
in this empty town

i'll move to the ocean side
by the hypnotic sound of the
evening tide

i'll love you
if fate makes matters
harder than they would be
without you

the rest of the world
could hate and lust
but our love is purer
our sounds are hushed

keep in your written heart
every verse and part
of my face and eyes
and i'll keep a secret diary
and write down everything we see

in stormy weather
you are melancholic
dreamy: don't be
in sunny weather
we are safe

ending with a wishful thinking
i keep my word, so true
but will there be a moment
that i can give that promise to you?
