I've Been

I've been a heavyweight. I've been a feather in the wind. I've been a knife threatening your life. I've been a beacon of light on Christmas Eve. I've been a thief and a drunkard. A two-faced liar you want to put straight Even if it's only for one night Even if it's only by mistake A tortured hour in error I've been your lover… But you threw the first stone. I've been a substantial burden. I've been a dancer moving gracefully. I've been a stinging nettle swiping left to right. I've been a dandelion angelic on the breeze. I've been a vocal infant at play. Taking what's mine And darling, you are mine. And it was for more than one night. And it wasn't a mistake. And there wasn't a minute of regret. Only a second for a sigh! Like I said, I've been your lover. But you threw the first stone. So, let's now end as friends.
