These moments we share are so beautiful,
If there were some other way,
Tamyka Bell
So exquisite,
So wrong.
I know you feel it.
Why do we rebel against the path set for us?
Why can we not just step back and let go;
Step forward and be resigned to our fate?
What is promised is so much sweeter,
But can't I have one more small taste now,
And perhaps again tomorrow?
I have distracted you, as I knew I would,
And I will not have you fall to this level,
I cannot let you stoop down to kiss me.
I must be strong.
Then you know I would take it,
For I love you now...
But that will never change.
