This Way (By Kimmy Holmes, My Daughter)

You are clean
pristine
I still think you 
can be

this way

I met a man in a bar
I'm sure you won't understand
we talked of our lovers
we held hands

felt like we understood 
our unfufilled lives
then realized
we were just lonely

this way

You are mine
mine
I still know you 
can be 

mine.
