Seems like only yesterday I left my mind behind

Down in a gypsy cafe with a friend of a friend of mine

Who sat with baby heavy on her knee

yet spoke of life most free from slavery

With eyes that showed no trace of misery

The phrase made connection- hurt was she

I heard that love was just a four letter word

Outside a rattling store front window

A cat meowed at the break of day

Me, I kept my mouth shut too, I had no words to say

My experience was limited and underfed

You were talking while I read

To the one that was the father of your kid

You probably didn't think I did

But I heard you say that love is just a four letter word

I said goodbye unoticed

Pused forth into my own games

Drifting in and out of lifetimes

I mentioned to go by name

Searching for my double

Looking for complete evaporation to the floor

So I tried and failed to finding any door

I must have thought that there was something more

Absurd and that love is just a four letter word

So I never knew what you meant when you were

Speaking to your man

I could only think in terms of me

And now I understand

After waking enough times to think I see

The holy kiss that is supposed to last eternity

Blow up in smoke it's destiny

Falls on strangers

Travels free

Yes now I know that traps are only set by me

And I do not really need to be

Assured that love is just a four letter word
