think

    strongly desire is the clue
    crave I think

    and right away
    I'll be thinking in pen
    how there's something about you
    in these five letters here
    and something about me

    how our minds meet with a hard c
    how intimate words have softened us
    how warm you must be, like the sane a
    that rolls from r to forgiving v
    how there are depths in you
    but we've agreed 
    this e can be silent

---

    not so fast
    it's not all that

---

    covet is the answer

    how old
    testament
    is covet

    I know what it is
    to covet, I know
 
    not exquisite
    not excruciating
    not like this

    think again
