Only You



You never stopped to think
That she could be the one.

Well, maybe you did, for a blink
Of a second. A heartbeat.

But you still kept talking to everyone
About your search, what you want.

Instead of staying awhile,
And getting to know every inch of her

Not just every inch of skin that your touches
Cause to vibrate from memories and sighs

But the soul’s mind-heart, that has grown
And altered. Instead of looking

You should be knowing. The woman
Before your eyes, that is always put to the side.

Don’t say the word love lightly.
Don’t say you wish and you want

If it will soon fall empty. Feeding lines
To a jaded heart, will eventually

Make that one numb. You keep hunting
And she’ll shut down. Chances have been given,

Only you can help the us now.
