if I remember your embrace
I won't want to know another
If I think of your eyes
I can't look at another pair so much
At once, I'll loose myself in thought
In want, in the way of the sun
If I recall the talks and walks
I'll be offended that my expectations now exist
Only to be crushed by oh so many
If I come around to the end of it all
It's just the beginning of an endless
Film loop my mind is playing
If I'll say to anyone
I'll be still deemed as unfree
Shackled and unprepared for love
If I'll determine to answer and say
You've done more than prepare me for such feat
If I'll cringe at their laughs its only
To know I've been right all along
To be shown what can transpire from pura vida
If I'll nod and say they are right
The window of possibilities will be shut tight
Tighter then a snow day asks it to be
So I'll know love through what you've taught me
And if thet tell me to settle
I'll look where I need to find your voice
That'll surely protest
From across the universe
From within my palace
All the king's men ready in armor
To defend love's honor
If I'll remember your embrace
