she
feels as precious to me
as the air that sustains my life
someone please remind me to breathe
see i know a woman's soul
that her own eyes do not perceive
that lights a fire in my spirit
that the stars would not believe
but change has been thrown in the tollbooth
see my lover she's moved on
to discover inner truths
and i love her even more for this
though i get lonely at home
without her lips to kiss
her eyes to see
her love
i miss
mistakes were made
i want forgiveness
for the naive crimes that i am guilty of
see there was a time
i tried to deny
the reality of this love
i attempted to avert my eyes
thinking it not possible
that i had found the one
so soon
but a voice more wise
always told me to return
and now
as i offer my naked soul to her life
it is she
dressed in the robe of indecision
it is she
who shields herself
from the shameless onslaught
of my adoration
and it is i
who awaits
her train of thought
to realize
the beauty of my station...
