I want you alone,
So the only thing between us is heavy breathing.

I want no pretenses, no fairy tale,
Just a warm night and cool laughter, easy glances.

I want you anxious and curious,
Unsure and willing to follow where I lead.

I want that grin, that crooked devil
To provoke and fight me, then tease and soothe with just your words.

I want to tip the glass
And forget myself, please, just for a minute.

I want to push your beautiful mind to edge,
Then show you why I’m more than you’ve imagined

I want to barely touch your skin
But feel the flame left in my finger’s place.

I want to watch your eyes roll back,
Then wait for you to seek revenge.

I want to feel control snap and hunger bite,
As we’re taken to the edge, then left hanging.

I want to unravel your layers until I can run my fingers through your soul,
Then lace it with my own and watch them dance on sunlight.

I want to lay there and feel your stare burn into me,
Let the heat build until we’ve caught fire.

I want to see it in your eyes,
Regret and passion, as if they were the same.

I want us to pretend this was an accident,
Blame it on too much wine and too much time.

I want us to leave this night alone
And run home to where we belong.

I want us to need each other,
But know it’s nothing more than mistakes.



I need us to end this,
But I’ll never want that.
