You Are Mine

---

I saw your face
but didn’t notice your eyes,
I heard your voice
but didn’t notice your smile;


I noticed your flesh
but didn’t look for the scars;
I noticed your clothes
but didn’t look for your style.


Those things I made up all by myself –
my needs for content, your face for the shell.
Like a soft, stuffed by me toy on my bed
was your face in my own love-duet.


In my mind in love we fell,
In my mind we got on well,
In my mind we came so close
like no two’ve ever been before;


then we slowed it down a bit,
had a few dramatic fits
but in hardships we came one
like phoenixes in ash reborn.


You’re talking still, but I don’t listen
‘cause I know much better of the truth:
these lies that you believe, you’ll get trough;
they’re just your coping mechanisms.


It’s you and I,
oh, it’s you and I!
I know all ‘bout us -
only I, only I!


I’ve seen it all -
in my mind...
so quiet you be
and listen to me:
it is I; you are mine...


Like a soft, stuffed by me toy on my bed
was your face in my own love-duet.
