If I ever held..(his or her) hand.
Or
If I ever kissed..(his or her) lips, I needed time 2 cross the others off of my list.
When I hear Prince sing these lyrics in, "FriendLoverSisterMotherWife,"
It gives me such a shy/loving feeling, not bittersweet. It's understanding.
When people have had divorces, or broken hearts, and gone into a new relationship, we'd like to carry this emotion with us, and yet we often feel sorry 4 the way things went for any hearts that are involved in relationships moving on.
I'm sure that we all identify with what it is like to carry a yesterday within u, and yet devote your heart 2 your day, and a new love that may be entering ur life.
I believe that when new lover's accept that initial hurdle, that the love track is right on time.
This is an appreciation thread 4 Prince's sensitivity...I'm sure U've been there.
