You ask me if I love you,
And I choked on my reply.
I'd rather hurt you honestly,
Than mislead you with a lie.
And who am I to judge you,
On what you say or do;
I'm only just beginning,
To see the real you.
.
And sometimes when we touch,
The honesty's too much,
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die,
Till we both break down and cry;
I wanna hold you,
Till the fears in me subside.
.
Romance and all its strategies,
leave me battling with my pride.
But through the insecurities,
Some tenderness surves.
I am just another writer,
Still trapped within my truth;
A hesitant prize fighter,
Still trapped within my youth.
.
And sometimes when we touch,
The honesty's too much,
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die,
Till we both break down and cry;
I wanna hold you,
Till the fears in me subside.
.
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've tried.
I've watched while love commands you,
And watched while love passed you by.
At times I think we're drifters,
Still searching for a friend,
A brother or a sister,
But then a passion flares again.

And sometimes when we touch,
The honesty's too much,
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die,
Till we both break down and cry;
I wanna hold you,
tTll the fears in me subside.
