Don't soberize me...

Don't soberize me
Don't enlighten me with the truth
Let me live with the illusion that
Someday, someway, somehow
I'll hear from your lips
The forbidden word!
***
I long for you, for your company
I live for your touch
I dream of your love
But wait …
Don't tell me you love me,
I want not to hear it
I'd like to feel it
--in your eyes
In your touch,
In ways I can't perceive through senses--
For the ineffable
Once uttered
Turns into a means to an end!
