"SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH"

.

You ask me if I love you.

And I choke on my reply.

I'd rather hurt you honestly.

Than mislead you with a lie.

And who am I to judge you.

In what you say or do.

I'm only just beginning.

To see the real you.

And sometimes when we touch.

The honestys too much.

And I have to close my eyes and hide.

I want to hold you till I die.

Till we both break down and cry.

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

Romance and all its strategy.

Leaves me battling with my pride.

But through all the insecurity.

Some tenderness survives.

I'm just another writer.

Still trapped within my truth.

A hesitant prize fighter.

Still trapped within my youth.

And sometimes when we touch.

The honestys too much.

And I have to close my eyes and hide.

I want to hold you till I die.

Till we both break down and cry.

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

At times I'd like to break you.

And drive you to your knees.

At times I'd like to break through.

And hold you endlessly.

At times I understand you.

And I know how hard you try.

I watched while love commands you.

And I've watched love pass you by.

At times I think we're drifters.

Still searching for a friend.

A brother or a sister.

But then the passion flares again.

And sometimes when we touch.

The honestys too much.

And I have to close my eyes and hide.

I want to hold you till I die.

Till we both break down and cry.

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

Subsides.
