Touch
There she is with all her wishes and her dreaming
But silently she sits back plotting and scheming
She keeps trying to come up with ways to change the man you are
Are you really going to let her go quite that far?
She don’t understand just how to love you deeply
Love so intense that one can’t help but love you completely
Between the two of you, is it all good or has it gone very bad
Do you find yourself remembering every bit of what you and I had?
She was so sweet in the beginning, now has she since gone sour
Leaving you wondering what you let go of again, hour after lonely hour
Well I sit here alone thinking of you and me
The way things were and still seem to be
I hang on tightly to all of our memories
We just fit together perfectly
We laughed and we cried
We held one another close and we had those deep gazes in each other’s eyes
We loved the other so intensely and we let the other go
Never believing we would be where we are today how were we supposed to know?
That these feelings, emotions, and desires would still be sparked this way
It’s a fire that can’t be extinguished and it’s never gone away
We never judged on what the other looked like, the love we had was from the inside out
Which is how I know she don’t yet understand what true love is all about
Yet I’m the one here alone missing every bit of you ever so much
And she’s the one who takes away your life and such
I get to remember and recall your strong, yet ever so sensitive touch…
…does she
No, I don’t think so not really
