she told me to take my time
I had to ask her why

the lady that spent her rainy afternoons playing chess
she wasn't like the lovers I had before 
and I knew what she wanted but I wanted her to beg for it 
it was that same flame 
that burned for an eternity 
that ended making me cold, internally 
a pretty frame 
soon brought me to shame 

don't touch me
I am mourning the love I have lost
