And Will You Love Her Again?

yes
and why do you say yes? because my arms and hands are ready
ready for what? for my lips
what do you mean? i have prepared myself how to hug and touch and kiss her
again

a dark night, a room, a candle, a glass of wine,
a cell phone turned off, and silence

this is
it, yes, the two of you again meeting

and did you taste her again? oh yes, i tasted her again my tongue is hardheaded
and how did she taste like? still sweet, sweeter than before
was she beautiful? more beautiful than ever
how did you know? she was naked
is beauty being naked? yes, someone beautiful must be naked before me
and silent and quite and private

she is still my sorrow and i know what i have at the end are still tears
