Baby if you want good love
Look no further – back up
You breezed by me too quickly
Expecting disinterest’s rejection
Bet you were surprised to see
Me lookin’ right back formally
No game was upon my sleeve
As I assessed you respectfully
I know we haven’t built a bridge
Both accustomed to isolationism
But our hearts’ common ground
Yearns deep for loving salvation
Still recovering from losses’ brutality
We could give each other tranquility
I’d step across lines if you asked
And showed me how to manifest
What’s needed to match chemistry
Igniting souls’ passions everlasting
