I knew what was to come- but I thought I’d turn it around- I was to be the man- that she would find- she could confide in- I know I was warned- found no false friends- to lay my sorrow in- Wagging their fingers- telling me- you made the mistake- you gave her both- the lock and key- I pushed and pushed- till I wanted nothing- I never gave up- But I gave to much- I never gave up- But I gave to much- It was a cold moonlit night- wrapped in blankets- listening to the rolling tides- It was in her eyes- the girl I was looking for- But the feeling of fear- held her closed and still- she curled her tongue- as I touched her skin- I had gone under- I was kissing- her lips of thin air- wanting like a beggar- for some kind of love- that wasn’t there- And in those nights- with the low lit candle- when I whispered sweet nothings in her ear- there was the calmness- and the subtle rhythm- of two souls- on the same road- And ever since- she held it back- while I chased her- Though I know- she felt something- deep down inside- this wandering girl- ended up- giving herself- to another man- Living in a fools paradise- I rolled the dice- gambling for paradise- hoping it would turn the favor- over to my side-Birth sign: Libra
