You entered into my life like a thief enters a house
I never wanted to light another fire
It had been hurtful and tearful to give into someone
So, my only motion had become self-love
I do remember the first times we met along the corridors
The beauty of your broad smile
The elegance of your deep-set eyes
The strength of your body language
The radiance of your skin
The confidence of who you are
All these, spread all over my face
Made me stumble, faint, and fall again
As time went by, I thought you were my crush
I never figured out how much I would love you
From heaven to earth and from earth back to heaven
This is the true measure of the hole you’ve dug in my heart
You’ve broken down my insecurities
You’ve torn apart my fears
Thus, you were the hot potato in my circle
At the drop of a hat I’d value you an arm and a leg
But you have never been able to judge me by my cover
You have not been capable of seeing the blessing in disguise
Maybe I was a bigger dish than you can eat
Or perhaps the best thing since sliced bread
But I bet we’d have made the best of both worlds
I hope that’s why we couldn’t beat around the bush
Because I always wished I could hold your hand
Because I often prayed I could feel your breath
Because I sometimes hoped you could wrap me up
But, well, that was just barking up the wrong tree
As every cloud has a silver lining
As pain carries along teachings
And love brings smile and laughter to the soul
I will love you until the fire becomes ashes
And until the next season brings about sweet berries
Meanwhile, remember the shadows of my dress
The power of my weak words
And the warmhearted goodbye I’m giving you
Elvis has left the building, or perhaps should I say Michele Wilma has left the building.
Whole Nine Yards, You Leave Me Breathless You entered into my life like a thief enters a house I never wanted to light another fire…
