For Paul
There's a single moment everyday
When the sun begins to fade
That I gaze beyond the horizon
In search of a love forbade
Your handsome face I cannot touch
Your gentle voice I cannot hear
But I know that you are with me
My heart has brought you here
Although it is only for an instant
This love cannot be disavowed
Pleasure, passion and contentment
All to me, you have endowed
I took a vow to love only one
And faithful I shall be
'cept within this timeless moment
When you are here with me
There's a single moment everyday
When the sun begins to fall
That I gaze beyond the horizon
And unite with a man named Paul
If only the years had not progressed
And taken from me, my innocence
I'd soar again like I once did
Into the arms of my beloved Prince
But alas reality has denied me flight
An angel without wings
Sitting grounded on the shores
Gazing outward, my lonely heart sings
In this life I have but one wish
And selfish it may be
Give my lover golden wings
And fly him here to me
Let me hold him in my arms
Feel his breath upon my skin
Taste the passion that I desire
Prove the love I feel for him
Then when my life is over
And the Guf contains my soul
I will have gained a priceless gift
A memory to behold...
