You remind me of an old friend-- The part of you that sends me to relaxed anxiety, I know I can share anything with, And I nearly have. You, destined to the impossible task: Loving the woman whose heart you hold And me, Destined to endeavor to escape, unscathed. Shall I play to win your heart As a precious, living, incomprehensible prize? Shall I play as the snake Tempting you with the fruit forbidden. I wish I were the serpent. Were I he I may claim some control But as it stands, I am nothing but the forbidden bite. You pretend we are nothing, But your eyes negate your words. Your searching gaze Sees in me someone I wish I could be. Summer lent us a temporary glow But warmed us deep within ourselves We changed each other More than the sun changed the hue of our skin.
