I may love you forever
even if we fall apart
I'll have your handprints
tattooed on my heart
from where you caressed it so gently
and burned through all my barricades
every cliche
you've had me feel
you made it very real
what I once thought
to be some far away
cruel mindgame
that life would dangle before me
but never allow me to play
I'll never forget you
cause your smile's printed on my mind
and your touch, on my soul
I'll always have a place for you
because it's not like
I could fill this hole
with something new
if you ever decide to vacate it
it'd be like an infected wound
that no amount
of peroxide or TLC
could cure
because that's what love does
it burns holes in us
and our lovers are the salve
