The Lovers' Whirlwind

I'm caught up in another whirlwind. It blows me to you without a doubt, tossed here, tossed there, tossed about. Love and lust are both a knife, cutting up bits and pieces of my life. What part of my heart will you possess? The part that can only say, "Yes"? Without this dream of you out there my heart would surely, scarcely bare. So, take me away with all the rest who can never be the best. We tumble and toss about within the lovers' crazy, hazy whirlwind.
