you ask me if i love u
and i choke on my reply
i'd rather hurt u honestly
than mistlead u with a lie
for who am i to judge u
in what u say or do
i'm only just beginning
to see the real u
and sometimes when we touch
the honesty is too much
and i hv to close my eyes
and hide
i wanna hold u till i die
till we both break down and cry
i wanna hold u till the fear in me subside
romance is an honest strategy
leave me grappling with my pride
but through the years of maturity
some tenderness survives
i'm just another writer
still trapped within my truth
a hesitant prize-fighter
still trapped within my youth
at times i'd like to break u
and drive u to your knees
at times i'd like to break through
and hold u endlessly
at times i understand u
and i know how hard u try
i've watched will love commands u
and i've watched love pass u by
at times i think we are drifters
stii searching for a friend
a brother or a sister
but then the passion flares again
