Hop It

I dreamt I made a deal with God
Or a pact maybe with The Devil
Either way I could have her back
But at a cost personally to me
I would have to lose a body part
The choice was mine what part to lose

I thought it over and agreed
I’d have to make a choice.

I would not want to lose my eyes
I need them both
To see her
I need to see her every day
Her beauty feeds my soul

I would not want to lose my ears
I need them both
To hear her
A voice like gold, so warm and pure
I doubt angels sound so perfect

I would not want to lose my mouth
I need it still
To kiss her and
receive those gentle kisses back
Without it I’d be lost for words
How else without would I tell
Her just how much I love her?

I would not want to lose my hands
I need them both
To touch her
Clumsy things, they both can be
But I need them both
To feel her skin
Her soft and perfect skin

I would not want to lose my arms
I need them both
To hold her
To wrap her warm
In a gentle embrace
On cold long winter evenings
To wrap her firm
And give her strength
When all seems set
Against her

I would not want to lose my chest
I need it still
For her to rest her head
On summers eves
When tired and happy
We both drift
Off to sleep

I would not want to lose my sex
I need it still
To please her
I may not be the greatest lover
But I seem to
Please her even though

I know! I know just what to lose
I think I’ll lose a leg
I’d still be just as tall
With one I wouldn’t lose my height
And to her still
Though I couldn’t walk
I bet I’d hop
As fast…
