6. With this ring

When I first arrived many times I would have gone
Yet another’s promise was my reason to stay on
Now a chore has changed and become a wish to please
I've seen beneath the awkward face, behind the ugly crease
A daughter’s duty kept this Beauty
Here alone with you to see this whole thing through
But this devotion is stopped in motion
And I beg you please, please grant me my release

With this ring you can reach me
With this ring reach out and touch me
Going you will break me
Forget me not nor forsake me
With this ring you’ll be back again
You’ll be back again

When you first arrived many times I could have said
All these words of love that that have spun within my head
Now at last it’s changed and now I speak my mind
But only as I see you leave my life and love behind
Here at my table yet never able
To say these secret things and how my heart would sing
Now at your going is the knowing
That maybe I have missed my one chance to be kissed
