Temptation

When I see him
Oh when I see him

When I look into his eyes
Listen to his voice
I get lost in an old story

My mind wonders in places it shouldn’t
To images of the past

To things ..........................

I hope he does not see 
where my mind has wondered off to

My flesh is weak and celibate
Ready for a release
He aims to deliver an always does

This temptation is causing temperatures to rise

Now the question remains of whether I am strong enough 
to fight my flesh or to weak to fight temptation
