How Could I? (5/28/2023)

How Could I? (5/28/2023)

You are in my eyes.

If this were not so, how could I see You?

You are in my mind.

If this were not so, how could I be an insane lover?

There is a wondrous place, although I don’t know where it is.

But, if there were not that place, how could I be there?
