I had you in my hand
and was given the cheat sheet
I’ve read the script
and the costume fits
Memorised how it played out
and
Saw the ending when they turned the page
Yet unbeknownst to me,
carefully hidden was a back-up scene
Leaving me aghast
and the play crumbled
You slipped off my hand, just like that
Like how a tornado
destroys in an instant
What was once
such a beautiful house
Yet for you,
I called up the Writer
night and day
Gave Him 3 dimes
to re-write a new ending
He refused but I kept bargaining
back and forth for 12 days
He finally agreed
and told me to sign the agreement,
insisting for 11 dimes as the final price
12 dimes were all I had
But
I still decided to settle with this agreement
I was prepared to throw away everything
And risk myself for another broken-heart
So I said deal,
as long as I can have you
Even if it’s just for another while
.
Before I lose you again
when the wind comes
To take you away from me
forever

To take you away from me

Everything I do, I do it for you, A.
