Gothic Smile

I saw you in a dream, 
laying on a beach. 
From the corner of my eye 
I caught the color of your smile. 
With eyes that captivate, 
I'd get lost in them for days. 
and I'd give anything 
for just a taste of you. 

Im wanting you to know 
the feelings I couldnt show, 
the words I never said 
in conversations on your bed. 
The aroma of your incense, 
your lips of crimson red. 
I wanted so much to taste, 
you have such a pretty face. 

Its so hard to be your friend 
and it's hard to keep pretending 
that i'm not in love with you. 
And i'm wanting you again, 
but you say were only friends. 
Remind me if I forget. 

Sleep all day and up all night. 
Seeing your face through candle light. 
The hours spent up in your room, 
the lingering scent of your perfume. 
Watching you get dressed in black 
still sends shivers down my back. 
seeing you naked kept me in a trance, 
I only wanted.. to touch you 
to hold you.. to taste your skin. 

You're so pretty smiling at me.
