You can wrap your arms around me
at the end of a long day.
You can press your lips to mine
as in my bed, we lay.

You can lean in on my shoulder
when you’re hardest hit.
You can speak with me your mind
and I won’t question you a bit.

You can hold my hand so tight
and never let it go.
You can call on me any moment,
this, I want you to know.

You can whisper sweet nothings in my ear,
tell me what’s on your mind.
You can give in to your desires,
as  I will give in to mine.

We can run away together,
if that is what you crave.
Travel the world together,
surf the ocean’s waves.

All these things you’re free to do,
everything you dream of.
But, still, I must caution you, my dear…
we can never fall in love.
