If Lonesome Had a Name
If lonesome had a name
So strong are the words left unspoken
So many nights I still lay awake thinking
There must be a reason my pride.....fear....sense gets the best of me
Will this be worth it in the end?
Succumbing to emotions can never happen
Feelings are out of the question
But.......
Sometimes I long for your grasp.....your gaze.....tender stroke on my delicate
skin......soft pressure on my lips........subtle vulnerability of your hand placed in mine.
Then I come to my sensible being, tell myself its better this way
Because something won't let u be ready........affectionate......emotional......mine, nor I
But oh how I long for you in my night.........day.......dreams.........heart........soul
If lonesome had a name
