As I sit in the dark,
I ponder life and all of its parts.
It appears to be a tough road ahead of me and I’ve got the wrong equipment for this journey.
Within my hand I hold the key to everything that you will need.
My heart.
My respect.
My loyalty.
Even my deepest regrets.
You can have it all with this key as long as you make a promise that you intend to keep.
With this key you have all of me—my mind and my body, and even my spirit.
My body shakes underneath your touch.
It becomes the putty that makes us one.
I need to know that you are in this wholeheartedly and will not wander.
So put your money where your mouth is and release me from this slumber.
