I didn't have to follow
with all the trust of a child~
To a place of warmth and passion
where fields of love grew wild.
You didn't have to say those words
that filled my empty heart
and promise endlessly
we'd never be apart.
I didn't have to listen
as you spoke your love for me...
And threw caution to the wind
for a dream that would not be.
You didn't have to hold me
and show me love like this~
Sparking long dead embers,
igniting flames... with one sweet kiss...
I didn't have to feel
the love I felt for you,
As you caressed my mind and body
with words that rang so true.
But you did and I did
so what is left to do?
Pretend it never happened
and find my way back from you?
If that is what you want
I'll go and not look back.
Knowing you'll slide into the shadows
with your familiar mask of black
