Circles
Made me youthful
Relentless energy spills from your nearness
Made me grown-up
I tremble every time you smile at me
Made me exciting
A sports car leading another through times
Made me accepted
Visions speak to me and laugh
Made me isolated
Surrounded by everyone but you
Made me Safa
New feelings demand new adjectives!
But
Wouldn't let me love you
Or discover if I could
Wouldn't let me kiss you
Scents of peppermint schnapps on your lips
Wouldn't let me hold you
What cold compassions filled your arms
Wouldn't let me touch you
Your hands looked warm, mine sounded empty
Wouldn't let me phone you
Still, you kept calling me a friend
Wouldn't ever leave me
("Without saying good-bye.")
But you lied.
