Lost in the heart of One Too Few  
Or One Too Many, who never knew  
The rhythms of a soulful heart,  
The need of love that could barely start  
  
Lost in the minds of More Than One  
Who called to mind when love was done,  
Who feared love's loss more than its life -  
I need love more than to be a wife  
  
Why do I hide from another's fear?  
Why slink away for another year?  
Why withdraw my love because you do?  
I am not one to love so few  
  
To fear openness, fear honesty?  
How can you consider this to be  
The way to true intimacy  
When this way, to love's simplicity?
