CAPTAIN CREWE
So intent now is your gaze
And your fingers as they trace
The contours of my face
Are you trying to engrave me
In your memory?
SARA
No need…
For me at all to memorize your eyes
Or file away your smile
You are with me all the while
Like my favorite poetry,
Imprinted in my memory
Committed to my heart
Like a poem that I know
Like a poem I’ll recite
Every night when you go
So intent now is your gaze…
CAPTAIN CREWE
I want…no, need…
To capture your face at this age
Learn your fingers by their size
Your sweet skin to memorize
Like a nurs’ry rhyme to keep,
This time will lull me when I sleep
Committed to my heart
Like a poem that I know
Like a poem I’ll recite
Every night as you grow
No need
To preserve the music in your voice
Or the sweet sweet scent of your hair
Though parting’s almost more than I can bear
SARA
You’re always here inside of me,
Like my favorite poetry
BOTH
You’re committed to my heart
Like a poem that I know
Like a poem I’ll recite
Every night even though…
CAPTAIN CREWE
I must go
SARA
I must grow
BOTH
Though we’ll be apart
I know you by heart
Committed to my heart
