I'll Never Love Again

Floating through life

Minding my own business

Little knowing what I was missing

Happily keeping most at a distance

Proudly keeping my heart wrapped in its layers

Then along came you

Why’d you come here, sticking yourself where you weren’t wanted?

Inserting yourself into a peacefully content existence?

Usurping my feelings and leaving behind chaos to rein?

For the sparkle in your eye makes my knees weak

While the shiteating grin on your face puts butterflies in my stomach

I’m too old to feel this damn young

Your touch leaves a fire trail in its wake

Are you even aware of the havoc you create?

You’ve raised what was dead and dying from its early grave

With my nerves on edge, I can feel as you bring me to a quivering mess

Gushing, I float within your Water sign, no longer rooted upon this earth

My Zodiac anchor broken, I’m fully capsized within yours

Sensing that my drowning will bring a life to us

Does this mean I should let go, for once, and take a dive?

Do I give you my trust, or will you let me sink forever below the surface?

What’s in the cards for us is something I’d like to know

But when I’m with you, I’m tongue-tied and stuttering

Happy to just listen to you as you talk and joke

I told you before, I’ll never love again, but

I may just really like you…a lot
