I’d like to take you somewhere quiet and warm
And forget
Just for a minute
That responsibilities exist

I’d like to take you somewhere quiet and warm
And tell you
How much I’ve grown to admire you
And enjoy our talks
And miss you when we don’t
And how much the part of me which longs to be kissed and held and whispered to
Wishes that you might or that you would
In that moment when the world wouldn’t know

I’d like to take you somewhere quiet and warm
and show you
The things I’ve thought about, dreamed about, laughed about and cursed about

But responsibilities exist

Give me your hand
I’ll lay these kisses for remembrance

I’d like to take you
But….
