Caught up in the rhythm of my heart The warmth and smoothness of your skin Ten fingers entwined in the darkness Now it doesn't matter where you've been
You hold me tighter than I've dreamed And I couldn't let go if I tried I can't let you slip away again But I don't know wrong from right
My pulse quickens with passing minutes And I hold onto all I've ever wanted Subconsciously I know I've been betrayed By a heart that has left me haunted
Then without warning our lips connect My head spins but tears begin to fall You hold me close so I can't move But I need to get away from it all
Regret rolls through me in waves But desire keeps me clinging to you I find comfort at the nape of your neck Where reality is hidden from view
Before I know it I'm in too deep Unable to resist kissing your skin I rationalize the path my lips trace At the same time my heart does me in
Too soon I realize I must get home Driving through tears and pouring rain I crave your touch and you in my arms But nothing can mask this kind of pain
Hours pass and I'm unable to sleep The next day drags by in a dizzy haze I need you more than ever before Was this why I counted down the days?
