I Crave Not A Meal But You

Out of Standard prompt...
Pigeon Superstition

I crave not a meal but you
i kiss a bird's feather
and brush the dog
again and again and again
until you're here with me.

the same things i do
to convince you to stay
are done over and over
and you stay

the night we watched 
Haley's Comet
i thought you would go
but you stayed

i knew that night
it was your love
that brought you and my love 
caused you to stay

the rest was 
only pigeon superstition
i couldn't risk you leaving
to wait for Haley's Comet
i crave not a meal but you
