Wherein lies the difference
between carefree and careless?
The line doth blur with ease
But knowledge sure hath I
That we indulged in both
Upon sweet summer eve
Under the kind veil of youth
Sunkist and innocent
Outside Verona
In the forests
I learned of his touch
And he of mine
"Ben" he'd softly speak
As our feet meandered Verona's veins
"Let us depart this shaking town,
meet me by the creek
And I shall teach your tounge to dance
"Meet me by the creek
And I'll make your blood run thunder-pounding;
"Meet me by the creek
I'll show your toes to curl;
"Meet me by the creek;
"I'll capture your lips;
I'll lay seige to your senses,
I'll hold you
Meet me by the creek..."
And I in turn, did indeed meet him
And with fervor I know not
how he could summon from me
Though not without caution
Twas me, always
on those starlit nights
Heralding the fear
that should be be caught on one of our jaunts
Should we be caught
We'd be killed
And he'd pull me closer and
Under the soft gaze of the moon
Swear that no price was too great
For the privilege of loving me
And I, steadfastly, would promise the same
What a bitter wine irony makes
When now I look back on our vows
For it was not our love
That stole my 'Cutio away from me
But that of Romeo
Oh, Romeo
Foolhardy Romeo
For feminine curves
which he had known not a fortnight!
My entire existence
I'd known 'Cutio
I knew every freckle of his body
Every nuance of his flavor
Not an hour goes by
I do not feel him still
In my very sinew and flesh
Not a moon passes
Under which I do not hear his words
"Ah but my Ben
Thy very smile doth ruin me for any other
Take me where you venture
Take all that I have
If in return I may but hold you
And listen to the rhythm of your beating heart"
Ah but my 'Cutio
How I wish you could
Meet me by the creek
Meet me by the creek
And let me breathe in your scent
but one last time
Meet me by the creek
That with your lips
So devious
So Devine
You might kiss away these tears
that doth stain my face
But alas as I spend my sleepless nights
In the place we consummated to be ours
and ours alone
Sacred
Forever and forevermore
Without your warmth
Without your arms
Without your vows
I am but half a soul
