The Edge of Love, The Beginning of Lust


Is it love, my love?

When you look upon me with your lustful eyes,

Is it lust, my love?

When you show me high respect,

Is it love, my love?

When our toungues are tied together,

Is it lust, my love?

When you make sure of my safety,

Is it love, my love?

When you wrap your arms around me and pull me close,

Is it lust, my love?

When you say "I love you" is it not for your gain?

My love,

Maybe we have reached the edge of love and,

My love,

Lust has just begun.
