Just One Look

& I was gone.

By Paula RowlandsPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

Just one look and I was gone

Just one touch and it was on

memories of you light up my heart

such a shame we had to part

but ooh baby

just one look, is all it took.

My Heart was pounding

my knees were weak

oh my lord

I could barely speak.

Your beautiful eyes

pierced my soul

there was no escaping

the rabbit hole.

Just one night

lasted all month long

felt so good

but oh so wrong.

There’s no denying

we played with fire

but mmm the passion

the hearts desire.

The problem was

you couldn’t stay

damn the day

you walked away.

I wish one look

would’ve made you stay

and in your arms

I could lay.

I fell for you, I fell real deep

but your heart & soul, wasn’t mine to keep.
