Games

She says she's still mad at me
But she forgives me anyway

Oh, the redeeming love of a good-hearted woman!

I came passionately dressed
She came passionately aflame
I could see the anger as a rose in her cheek
Burning fire...

I was jealous
She seemed innocent

I tried not to let my eyes give me away
I wanted to look at her
To know how she feels

I saw her look at me out of the corners of her eyes
She stood back against the wall
Defiant

I left early
I had taken her by surprise
Though this was all by chance

She reached out through the night
Called me on not apologizing to her
I told her she beat me to the punch
I was giving her time
Who knows her rhythm?

And now I see her again
Through the distance
Delicate
