I hold your hand in mine, dear,
I press it to my lips.
I take a healthy bite
From your dainty fingertips.

My joy would be complete, dear,
If you were only here,
But still I keep your hand
As a precious souvenir.

The night you died I cut it off.
I really don't know why.
For now each time I kiss it
I get bloodstains on my tie.

I'm sorry now I killed you,
For our love was something fine,
And till they come to get me
I shall hold your hand in mine.

Perhaps it's about time you started watching Ally McBeal? I think there was something with the cut hand......

Oh, I did. I watched. At least 2 seasons, maybe even more. But then they became so incredibly boring... How much time can you waste waiting and hoping that Fish would finally say something?

There are 2 seasons of Ally? Ouch, another hole in my education....
