Will you marry me?
I'd have been okay with a typo, a period to end something,

anything from you--so long as it was from you, for me;

It was okay when you said we'd be together, but we aren't;

It was okay when you said you loved me, but just--not now; 

I'd have been okay with a lie, or with promises too brutal,

But not even with words, not even a period, with nothing, 

you whispered nothing into me and said goodbye
