You came back to kiss me!

 

...I felt like a baby,

Learning to talk,

Learning to walk again.

And to comprehend, the words:

"I love you"

As its very truth.

 

I was a clumsy soldier,

An experienced amateur!

Learning to combat,

Learning to master the art of

...killing!

Of all other things,

That invade my territory of love.

 

I was a young doctor,

With no practice, whatsoever!

Learning to diagnose

The root of jealousy,

Which is sapping my heart!

Like an incurable disease!

 

Yet, I am just another human,

And above all, a woman!

With raw pain, with fresh blood!

The erotic gate of all feelings,

Let the devil in!

And destroy often the thing

I treasured and cherished most!

When You Kissed Me This Morning!
