A Piece

I want a piece of you to stay with me forever,
I want a piece of you to carry in my soul,
I want a piece you because you make me so much better,
I want a piece of you because it makes me whole.

I hold you tightly so that you will be forever
Imprinted on my body and my mind.
I hold you tightly so that I will never ever
Be able to forget that you were mine.

I breathe you deeply because today you’re near me,
I breathe you deeply because for now I can,
I breathe you deeply because when you do leave me
I’ll need to know that you were once my man.
