I HAVE

 

I HAVE

 

I have smelled the addiction to your attention

since the first time you flirted me

 

I have felt the flame burning inside me

since the first time you sent me that love song

 

I have felt the tenderness of your heart

since the first time you lent me your ears when I needed someone to talk to

 

I have felt the warmth of your love

since the first time you touched me

 

I have felt the gentleness of your care

since the first time you hugged me tenderly

 

I have smelled the intoxication

since the first time you aroused me

 

I have warned myself not to be lured away

since the first restlessness came to me

due to your poisonous kisses

 

And I have let myself fall despite the warnings from my brain

while my heart and my mind stubbornly are on you now and again

 

It has been too far now

and I cannot step back

to the day before all this confusion took place
