I told her I couldn’t love her
She just said “that’s ok”
“Don’t worry if we belong together”
“Tomorrow’s a lifetime away”

Told her I might hurt her
She just smiled and took my hand
Told her I loved someone else
She said “I understand”

Kiss me; you don’t have to like it
Hold me; just not too tight
We’ll part ways in the morning
Please stay here tonight

Let’s hide our emotions
Act like we don’t care
We’ll just enjoy each other
We can have a like affair

She knew the woman I loved
Wasn’t in love with me
She shared a similar story
We shared our empathy

She gently removed my shirt
Sensing nervousness
I just stood there paralyzed
As I watched her undress

…. Is this really happening

Kiss me; you don’t have to like it
Hold me; just not too tight
We’ll part ways in the morning
Please stay here tonight

She moved with such precision
Arousing more with every touch
Softly whispered “relax”
My soul now in her clutch
Tried hard not to like it
But I loved it so much

I wondered for a moment
Watching her sleep, not making a sound
Perhaps what I’ve been searching for
…. I’d already found

Maybe what I’ve been searching for…
But could never find
…. I’d already found
