He stole you didn't he?

Right out from under my nose

You loved me.

Didn't you Benny?

But then I left to become someone else.

Damn Armando!

And they sent him here, to be with you.

Him instead of me.

He became your partner, then your friend.

He replaced me.

And you soon forgot your feelings for me.

And concentrated on him instead.

All our late night pizzas and stakeouts

Gone from memory, erased

By one incident aboard a ship.

He became your lover after that,

Didn't he Benny?

Kissing You

TOUCHING You

Where only I should have kissed and touched you.

But I left

And I lost

Lost what I had given to me but never returned

Taken from me by fate.

Stole.
