I meant to give you a kiss
but a kiss turned to a thousand,
and a thousand to thousands,
and now my lips have left with you.

but they held tight and have forgotten
even the very arms they belong to.

but you forced yourself into dreams,
and those dreams dreamed of your reality

and who I was before I met you.
Before I eagerly and lovingly,
stupidly and foolishly
gave all of myself to you.”
