Yours in words forever
 

Yours in words forever

But never yours in love

Yours in words of what might be

But never take me up

Yours in words of poetry

But never more than that

Yours in words of make-believe

But make-believe's not fact

Yours in words flirtatious

Love's fingers tour the spine

Yours in words that whisper

'No please, leave on the light'

Yours in words of sadness

Cold tears to drench the night

Yours in words reflecting

The long journey that is life

Yours in words beguiling

Silk echoes on the floor

Yours in words forever

Just words and nothing more
