That day you touched me
I felt like a sparkling gem
Your touch was poetry,
A fiery glow.
But then my world appeared
Calm, secure, noble
Three pair of eyes depending on me
I had to let you go.

Something like a magnet
It pulls beneath your stare
Impossible to forfeit
The strength of what is there...

When I remember the warmth comes pulsing back
It’s like you’re next to me
It’s there to taste (Our world we make?)
But if I try
To see you in my dreams
If I lay down with you in my heart
I’d always be awake.

Something like a magnet
It pulls beneath your stare
Impossible to forfeit
The strength of what is there...

And though I’ve found you 
I know that you’ll never be mine
That too is poetry
It’s what we know.
And in some quiet time
 If he asks with a yearning soul
If there’s ever been someone else... 
I’ll always say “no.”
“no.”
“no...”
