In Public

I want to tickle your heart
before the spring comes
you will be ready by then
to shake my hand in public
and everyone will know
that we‘ve hooked up
while long winter nights
haunted us down till exhaustion.
They will know
and I will be released to love you loudly
with all my lungs, heart and each cell shouting dithyrambs
till you will notice it too.

I will make sure you do.
