When our hands reach for coffee
At the same time
And our fingers touch
For the very first time
I am sorry baby
I never thought
I would touch somebody again
And she tells me something
She'd never told anyone else
And she smiles
And I can't avert my gaze
I try to stop and think of your face
But it's the best part of my day
She says the only way
That we can't love
Is if I cut out her heart
So put away that knife my friend
And maybe we can start
I get out of the car up the stairs down her corridor
She opens up to me and I walk across her floor
I can't
Should I
Walk to her
I never thought I'd move like that anymore
And as I find myself calling out her name
And kiss her on the forehead
And to me she does the same
I want to cut off my lips
So I can't kiss anymore
I know you are gone dear
And you never will return
But I feel I am betraying you dear
When I am with her
And I know there's a part of me
That knows if you could see me now
You would look at me
With that old twinkle in your eyes
And say
You can't love someone
Who's already died
It's a simple ceremony
For family and friends
Your parents came
And they gave her a hug
Our little one was the flower girl
At the front we set an empty chair
