Preventing a Death

were you touching me when you felt her skin
and wasn't I there when your love began
did you look in my eyes when she turned toward your face
did you even once see me in your secret place

  I have to think yes. I will not believe, that you could go to her, and not take me

did your lips form my name when she touched your mouth
and did you hear my voice as you cried out
wasn't I there when she left your arms
and you knew then you were not alone

 I have to think yes. I will not believe, that you could go to her and not take me.
                                                     I have to think yes
