Tie Me to You

for A.M.

Tie me to you…

Tie me so that I can show you

What I have failed to show you

In the past.

 

In the past…

When all I wanted to do

Was kiss you

And tell you how much

You really meant to me

When I was too scared

To tell you.

 

To tell you…

How I felt about us

What we were

And what we could have been

And, maybe, become

Something different.

 

Something different…

Something new and unexpected

So that people would stare

And we wouldn’t care.

 

We wouldn’t care…

If we kissed out in the open

As long as everyone knew

That you were mine

And I was yours.

 

So, tie me to you.
