How Many? Poem by My love loves me not

How many breathes of 'O, my love' will it take to change your heart?
How many days in the year will make you yearn for me?
How many times do I have to cry for you to make you think of me?
How many? O, how many?
How many lifetimes do I have to wait for you?
How many times do I have to hide from you to search for me?
How many boyfriends will you take before you take me in?
How many, my love? How many?
