You
with your dirty hands and strange, new scent
with your double life and your favorite way to pass the time
your hickies and your immaturity
You failed

You
with your virgin body and experienced words
with your big talk and short pace
your cute lines and attempt at recapturing that initial chemistry
Oh, how you failed

You
with your innocence that desired my perversion
with your good intentions and gentleman's carriage
your trembling hands and your waving feet
Darling, you can stop now... You failed

You
with your darkness that drew me into the light
with your lips that smelled of sleepless nights and substance
your lust that made me remember my own
I hear your insistence- you must know that you failed

You
with your perfect passion and purity of faith
with your insecurity that proved to me your longing
with your patience that outlived my weakness
with your strength that forced me to my feet
with your lips that took my heart in gentle, careful hands
with your hands that travelled me- searching for things I couldn't wait to offer you
with your hope of love that I cannot help but still remember
with your eyes that wanted so badly to love me
with your wisdom that I look to when I'm a fool
your skin like strong, velvet sand
Oh, my love, you've won

You've won and now...
you're all I feel
and, in your absence, I find

fear
