Call me a fool; I am:  
When, remembering your hand  
Causes blood to rush  
Causes heart to pound  
Causes flesh to pale  
Erases everything.

Call me a fool; I am:  
When your few gentle words  
Speak volumes more  
Speak depths greater  
Speak tenderness sweeter  
Than all the talk in me.

Call me a fool; I am:  
When every whim in you  
Becomes my soul’s demand  
Becomes my heart’s wish  
Becomes my stream of life  
And I a helpless leaf.

Call me a fool; I am:  
When I can’t stop fighting for you  
I can’t stop loving you  
I can’t stop wanting you  
I can’t stop living  
For the mere breath of you.

Call me a fool; I am:  
When life calls to me  
And I remember you  
And I need you  
And I ache for you  
And I must love, must live, too.

Call me a fool.  
I am a fool  
For you  
For love  
For life  
For truth.

Call me a fool; I am:  
For all I want  
Amidst all this love  
And life  
Is the end of me,  
Is the whole of you.
