This Ring Upon My Hand
We have become very good friends;
My mind she seems to understand.
But at friendship our relationship must end
Because of this ring upon my hand.
I am aware of her attractiveness,
And how in her presence I know that I’m a man;
But these feelings I must suppress
Because of this ring upon my hand.
There is another to whom I am wed;
I still love and with her always will stand.
I still respect those vows that we said
Because of this ring upon my hand.
So please accept me as a platonic friend
Knowing if things were different I’d try to be your man;
But there is room for only one lover in my bed
Because of this ring upon my hand.
