You'd already done enough for me today
-As if you were obligated to do anything for me on any day!
But before turning in and out of habit I checked, and I saw
The place in your space that you dedicated in silent fashion to me, on this day

You'd already done enough for me today
-Your friendship is a gift in itself!
But after you invited me in, fed my stomach and my heart
Your final correspondence fed my soul

You'd already done enough for me today
-You want so badly for us to be close, and we may get there if we keep trying!
But a night in Newburyport wasn't enough
And I was not safe from your affections! For your sent flowers, and messages upon messages of love to me

You'd already done enough for me today
-You're so, so far away, and I feel it acutely!
But you met me and you sang to me
And I was assured that we are still sisters
