To think that I had loved you once 
And died in heaven with your kiss 
If in a differing circumstance 
Would my heart be broke like this? 
No greater heart did I covet 
Nor touch desire was e’er more strong 
Had I known was the kiss of death 
And in your life did not belong 
Your heated stares I would resist 
And songs like silk would fall unheard 
But your smile did ever insist 
That I believe your every word. 
Yet you linger in my mind 
Left unbanished by my strong will 
For there were moments you were kind 
At times I think I love you still.
