I loved you
Since that time before we remembered
Loved you
With every breath
Every death
Since the day the whip tasted my flesh
From the moment your lips kissed my hand

Blushing red
When your breath caressed my ear
Your hands soothed my flesh
I loved you
With an innocence so impure
So carnal
So right

I loved you
When your lips grazed mine
Delicate like the butterflies kiss
Sacred
Breathless
I loved you
