45. Before

I stayed awake this very night
I could not sleep a wink

Our last encounter enlightened me
It forced me to stop and think

Your moistened lips did touch mine
The excitement was like no other

I sensed the heat between our souls
But remembered you belonged to another

I’m perplexed by my thoughts now
Tempered by passion and emotions

My life without you is on autopilot
I’m just going through the motions

Is it so wrong to have it all
And dare to ask for something more

Regardless where this road leads us
It can never be like before
