Oh You Are Coming by Sara Teasdale

Oh you are coming, coming, coming,
How will hungry Time put by the hours till then? --
But why does it anger my heart to long so
For one man out of the world of men?

Oh I would live in myself only
And build my life lightly and still as a dream --
Are not my thoughts clearer than your thoughts
And colored like stones in a running stream?

Now the slow moon brightens in heaven,
The stars are ready, the night is here --
Oh why must I lose myself to love you,
My dear?

Say I wouldn't care if you walked away,
But everytime you're there I'm begging you to stay,
When you come close I just tremble
And everytime, everytime you go,
It's like a knife that cuts right through my soul.
