I never said
I would ever cease to love you.
I never said
that this was our farewell.
I never told you
that I would choose her over you
and I don't think I ever will.
She is there for me in ways that you try to be,
and she needs me too, sometimes.
it's true,
and she didn't used
to distrust you.
if you can love me with your heart,
but not your body,
Then I can do the same thing.
And my darling, I love you with all my heart
(And all my body)
But I'm not going to risk
losing everything.
There was a time,
(Remember?)
When I lost all I had,
I had just gotten it all back
and then that was the end of that.
The Wildcat with her vanishing act,
As she found a new,
More appropriate man,
Disappeared right out of my life
Right after I got cut off the first time.
And you,
(Remember?) What did you do?
You said
"I don't wanna do anything that we do,
I don't think
ever again."
and then,
I had run out of friends.
And you then ran back
to your other, better man,
Leaving me alone
all over again.
So when she came back,
When she was there,
I felt blessed but I was so scared
I was terrified
and my heart ablaze
With passion for you
nearly cost me her for good
last time.
I can't do it.
I'm not gonna risk it this time,
Princess,
but don't think for a second I don't miss you.
Every day I wish I could hold you in my arms
Tell you I love you, and kiss you.
But that's not what we ever had
our time was shared and borrowed
between each other and our lovers
and our mutual friends.
Broken yesterdays
and empty tomorrows.
I'll love you forever, even from a distance
if you love me, you'll understand.
That right now I need to stay away -
But I never said
this was the end.
Never fall in love.
