I Never Thought I Would Again

When our hands reach for coffee
At the same time
And our fingers touch
For the very first time
I am sorry baby
I never thought
I would touch somebody again

And she tells me something
She’d never told anyone else
And she smiles
And I can’t avert my gaze
I try to stop and think of your face
But it’s the best part of my day

She says the only way
That we can’t love
Is if I cut out her heart
So put away that knife my friend
And maybe we can start

I get out of the car up the stairs down hеr corridor
She opens up to me and I walk across hеr floor
I can’t
Should I
Walk to her
I never thought I’d move like that anymore

And as I find myself calling out her name
And kiss her on the forehead
And to me she does the same
I want to cut off my lips
So I can’t kiss anymore

I know you are gone dear
And you never will return
But I feel I am betraying you dear
When I am with her
And I know there’s a part of me
That knows if you could see me now
You would look at me
With that old twinkle in your eyes
And say
You can’t love someone
Who's already died

It’s a simple ceremony
For family and friends
Your parents came
And they gave her a hug
Our little one was the flower girl
At the front we set an empty chair
