Turn the Other Cheek

A few hours past midnight from a nightmare I wake my heart is a pounding and I'm pondering fate My temperature's rising there's sweat on my brow all from the pictures and the feelings allowed It all started like this when we were sitting alone you brushed back your hair and didn't look at your phone Your eyes locked on mine hung on every word that I said I went in slow for a kiss but you turned your head You talked about true love and a friend that you knew how she's sweet and endearing and available too In the dark of this night as I toss and I turn does this bring me closer to the questions that burn
