I wanted just one last stare
But more I needed one thing that would make me
Forget my hands in her hair
And misremember those things that would sate me
I wanted just one reason
To curse her name and rescind my poetry
For every line that she penned
Meant my mistaking come-ons and stone cold coquetry
She's all mine and she's all mind...
I wanted just one last word
To bite my tongue and lie through my tattling teeth
To promise her that I'm sure
My semblance is the same as my feelings underneath
She's all mine and she's all mind...

Before I even held her
She's slipping through my arms
If she feels like leaving me
She's already gone
I know that she is wavering
I've had her all along
If she feels like leaving me
I'm already wrong
Careful, chary, do be weary
Lean but do not fall
Heels below head I'll try instead
To fix some flaw
Every touch seemed telling
All the sighs were there
If she feels like loving me
I already care
Then I whispered to her
That I'm not one to share
If she feels like loving me
I've already dared
Prudent, patient, turn your gaze and
Take but do not give
No gripe, no grin when she leaned in
To taste my lips
I could not even tell her
I faltered when I tried
If she feels like leaving me
I've already died
