And It Shall Be Given
Questions ...
Can I want you ...
Without drowning in desire?
Can I adore you ...
Without your pity?
Can I hold you ...
Without holding onto you?
Can I touch you ...
Without your skin burning?
Can I taste you ...
Without starving?
Can I fall into you ...
Without falling for you?
Can I love you ...
Without breaking us both?
Can I kiss you ...
Without losing my soul?
Never.
And so ...
I will.
