Caress

Smooth friction merges cheek against cheek
As in a brief moment of tenderness
Speck on a landscape of regret
My heart chooses to give
Knowing it could never get

Elusive freedom is in a kiss
As I transfer my soul to you
I want nothing
You’ll give nothing
Save break my heart in two

See this lonesome tear
Where it’s fallen by your lip
Oh! But if I were that tear
I would be lonesome no more
Why can’t I be that tear?

Sparks fly from your flesh to mine
You smile, I’ll be crying
Be blissful knowing I love you
Though that love was never mine to give

For sheltered in your arms
Warmed by the sunlight of your joy
Is my darling
The only time I’ve ever lived
