Whenever You Touch Me
by Birgitt Schuknecht

There had been a time
when a word from you
made me the richest man on earth

There had been a time
when a look from you
made me the bravest man on earth

There had been a time
when a touch from you
made me the happiest man on earth

There had been a time

when our love was the only thing that mattered to me
and I thought you felt the same, seeing it in your emerald eyes

Whenever you touched me
I trembled with desire
to love you
Whenever you touched me
I trembled with fear
that I might lose you


Now is a time
when a word from you
makes me the poorest man on earth

Now is a time
when a look from you
makes me the scariest man on earth

Now is a time
when a touch from you
makes me the saddest man on earth

Now is a time
when our hate is the only thing that matters to me
and I think you feel the same, seeing it in your emerald eyes

Whenever you touch me
I tremble with desire
to kill you
Whenever you touch me
I tremble with fear
that I might lose you
