One Touch


That's all it took

That one look changed everything

The second your eyes met mine I lost my breath

 

Every time I went back to that place your face filled my mind.

I am so sorry for what happened.

But I have no way of telling you.

 

I can't bring you back.

I can't make you mine.

I can't stick around thinking about you all the time,

So what can I do?

 

That's all I needed

was that one touch

And I would be forever trapped

 

In your grasp.

Never bring able to move on and move away

That is never going to end

From that first touch I knew I was gone.
