And Again

I went back to bed When the tears were dry You didn't need to know That I had just cried I laid down beside you On the far side of the bed But after a moment I had to cover my head The tears were still coming They just wouldn't cease I tried to stifle the sounds And I tried to keep the peace You ask me what is wrong And I replied to you 'I've never cried so much before And it's all because of you' You took me in your arms And held me so very tight You kissed my lips gently And said 'Everythings alright' My tears were still flowing They never seem to end 'I don't know if I can handle this, I want you more than just a friend' You said you didn't know How intensely I cared for you Theres no way you could tell I kept it hidden from view I finally gained control The tears seemed to dry up I got up an light a smoke I just needed to sit up I finished my cigarette quietly I thought I had gained control The hush between us deafening The silence almost whole You pulled me down beside you And again held me in your arms I started tearing up once more I love the way you charmed You felt the wetness on my cheek And kissed my tears as they fall Holding me so close to you That... I'll always recall Things got a little heavy And was leading up to more I started crying all over again As you started to explore Again you noticed my tears And again held me in your arms I loved the way that I felt safe And in no danger of harm That night to me, was beautiful It could have come from a dream I will keep that memory forever And forever it will gleam
