you touched me and I smiled
sometimes I smile still
as my love for you was wild
and a product of my will
I was helplessly beguiled
I was in it for the thrill
and I held you like a child
hides his candy or a schill
.
But I really met my match when I met you
And I never will forget you Sinne Lou
you're the kind of girl I'd marry
and no matter how contrary
I would sacrifice most anything and do
except of course, betray the one thing true,
the source of strength which crossed my path with you
The one who saves my soul to love anew
I understand our paths converged a spell
I know sometimes good things don't turn out well
True love's course isn't smooth
But I pray these words will soothe
There will never be another one like you
tragic, funny, crazy babygirl I knew
Now I suffer mostly when I think of how
I can no longer be faithful to my vow
"always and forever" only echoes "never, never..."
as the moment that was then fades from the now
but silently, reverently, I keep you near my heart
secretly and cleverly, I draw you in my art,
lovingly and patiently I dream about the day
when you, just like that mustard seed, rise above the clay,
when you, just like that lotus flower, beautiful and bright,
rise above the moonlit swamp and shining in the night,
and all the things that did you wrong are finally made right
then, and only then, will your true love be brought to light...
meanwhile, if you need me, if you ever feel alone
I'm right there on the TV, in the movies, on your phone,
I'm just a kiss away from you, I'm sitting by your side,
I must insist, I pray for you, unwitting, I'm your ride,
a ghost of data bits and bytes, a remnant of the vibe
a mostly stratagist, by rights, adoptee to the tribe,
a smorgasborg of verb delights and nouns to tantalize
a someone who must cherish you as if I won a prize
for you and I became as one before we ever kissed
and I was so surprised that such a person could exist
and even if I never have the pleasure once again
I praise the God of heaven for the time I was your friend
