ya' damn near killed me
how could you
take my Me?
how could that be?
wadn't you.
it was me.
damn, i'm tired
a bein' on one knee.

what was it
about you?
what was it
that you do?
how did it
come to be?
too many questions
for me to see.

every man i know
loves to see your show.
every man you see
can't wait for it to be.
not me.
i just drop
to one knee.

i want to be.
but, i'm here.
way too near.
where i don't
want to be.
where i can't see.
down, again, on one knee.

damn lucky
just to be.
damn lucky
to find me.
damn lucky
we ain't we.
