.:the choice:.
Damn the choice
And these rides
Damn that man
And all he hides
Closer than friends
Farther than lovers
A whispered promise
Beneath the covers
Smoke and mirrors
A simple spell
Trickery abounds
But you can't tell
Whispered words
And silken sheets
You open up
And he retreats
Can't understand
But all the same
You wish he'd stop
This stupid game
And then you find
Another one
He came uninvited
With the midnight sun
From night til morn'
And morn' til night
He has a wish
To put things right
In his eyes
His words ring true
Enchanting speech
Enraptures you
His velvet touch
His softest kiss
Pure delight
And utter bliss
Damn the choice
From the start
Damn this man
His perfect heart
