Once you've tasted love It lives to be sublime and beautiful To live without them? There are a few alternatives You may count the hours Minutes Seconds Of their absence You can play make believe That their touch still greets you At your loneliest hour You can look at others and treat it As Halloween For they just wear the mask Of that certain someone You can play heart surgeon Attempting to mend the hole Where your heart used to lie While they have it sitting On their night stand The alternatives exist But love is where we belong
