Back and forth, back and forth
A ring with a blue stone,
A young man's heart.
Given back by another and given away for safekeeping.
Given to a friend, a protector
Who wishes to be so much more.
His heart held in the hands of his friend,
Who wishes it was given to her first
And not just for safe-keeping.
Back and forth, careful not to let it drop.
For he trusted her not to let it drop,
To hold it for safekeeping
When she wished to hold it for so much more.
Back and forth, back and forth,
When one the ring, on his heart
A name was engraved.
Not any name, but the protector's.
Sam
Not Valerie, not Paulina
She believed this wasn't a mistake
But wished he believed it too.
She wished to hold it for so much more than just for safekeeping.
For him to realize whose name was engraved on his heart.
Until then she would hold his heart.
As the protector,
Who wishes to be so much more.
Back and forth, back and forth,
Careful not to let it drop.
