I Just Want You To Wake One Day

I just want you to wake one day and maybe comprehend The extent of my emotions, but I doubt you'd understand I shouldn't have to ask to always be there on your mind I'm sick and tired of never knowing, looking for a sign I want you to let go now, I need you to be free Will there ever come a time where you HAVE to be beside me? I wish when I unshut my eyes in the first glimpse of light I'd find that you had stayed awake to watch me sleep all night I want to feel my back upon the cool, hardness of wall Take advantage of the moment, you can't resist at all The catching of my breath, you know I never could disguise The sheer volume of rapturous desire in my eyes I want you to reach out for me, in the dead of night I want your eyes to pursue me, never leave your sight I realise you've never tasted love upon your tongue I want to fuel your soul with an explicit sensation Do I creep into your day with all the silly things we've said? Do they play a smile upon your lips and echo round your head? Those unexpected moments when I hear a certain tune Transports me back to conversations I have shared with you I just want you to wake one day and maybe comprehend The extent of my emotions, but I doubt you'd understand.
