"You"

It was you
you with mane of coal
and eyes of amber
you with the soft hands of a child
the strength of men
tenderness of a butterfly
It was you that interrupted my being
your kiss that rattled my existence
one kiss that crumbled all in my life
a kiss to end all others
then I cried
our lives kissed and it was never meant to be
leave me
i cannot be what you want
leave me
i`ll never be what you need
leave me
my life is not my own to give
leave me
because I have no promise for you
leave me
because you`ll always stay
leave me
because I love you

In my minds eye I will always see you
In my minds ears I will always hear your voice
in my minds mouth I will always say your name
when he who holds me is another
In my minds heart it will always be us
because in my heart
It will always be you
